THE SEA AT NIGHTFALL
BEHIND the verge of western hills
The sun has sunk,
Rivers of light to niggard rills
Have shrunk.
Beyond the melancholy sea
Of separate lives
Loom shores which Love still holds in fee
(Nor strives
With intermittent promptings of the heart
To build song's Whole from each disfavouring part).
March 17, 1936.
