Grey Rocks, and Greyer Sea
1860-1943
Grey rocks, and greyer sea,
         And surf along the shore --
And in my heart a name
         My lips shall speak no more.
The high and lonely hills
         Endure the darkening year --
And in my heart endure
         A memory and a tear.
Across the tide a sail
         That tosses, and is gone --
And in my heart the kiss
         That longing dreams upon.
Grey rocks, and greyer sea,
         And surf along the shore --
And in my heart the face
         That I shall see no more.
