Explore "A Song by the Shore" by Bliss Carman on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
"Lose and love" is love's first art; / So it was with thee and me, / For I first beheld thy heart / On the night I last saw thee. / Pine-woods and mysteries! / Sea-sands and sorrows! / Hearts fluttered by a breeze / That bodes dark morrows, morrows, -- / Bodes dark morrows!
Moonlight in sweet overflow / Poured upon the earth and sea! / Lovelight with intenser glow / In the deeps of thee and me! / Clasped hands and silences! / Hearts faint and throbbing! / The weak wind sighing in the trees! / The strong surf sobbing, sobbing, -- / The strong surf sobbing!
