Over all the quiet sea-shore Shadowing falls the hour of Hesper; Through the clouds the moon is breaking, And I hear the billows whisper. "Can that man who wanders yonder Be a lover or a dunce? For he seems so sad and merry. Sad and merry both at once." But the laughing moon looks downward. And she speaks, for she doth know it: "Yes, he is both fool and lover. And, to cap it all, a poet!" i86
Behold! 'tis a foam-white sea-mew That flutters there on high. Far over the black night-waters The moon hangs up in the sky. The shark and the roach dart forward For breath as the breeze floats by. The sea-mew poises and plunges. The moon hangs up in the sky. Oh, lovely transient spirit. How heavy of heart am I! Too near to thee is the water. The moon hangs up in the sky. 187
