I saw from the beach while morning was shining,
A ship oe'r the waters move gloriously on.
I came back when the sun oe'r that beach was declining;
And the ship that was there and the waters were gone.

So such is the fate of life's early day
In passing the spring-tide of joy we have known;
Each wave that we dance 'round in morning gives way
And leaves us at eve on the sea-shore alone.

Ne'er tell me of glories serenely adorning
The close of the day nor calm of the night,
Give back to me the wild freshness of morning;
Her clouds and her tears, more worthy a light.

Who would not welcome that moment's returning,
When passion awakened new life in its name;
For my soul like the coal that gives light in its burning,
Gives out all its own to love's mighty flame!

I saw from the beach while morning was shining,
A ship oe'r the waters move gloriously on.
I came back when the sun oe'r that beach was declining;
And the ship that was there and the waters were gone.

So such is the fate of life's early day
In passing the spring-tide of joy we have known;
Each wave that we dance 'round in morning gives way
And leaves us at eve on the sea-shore alone.

Ne'er tell me of glories serenely adorning
The close of the day nor calm of the night,
Give back to me the wild freshness of morning;
Her clouds and her tears, more worthy a light.

When passion awakened new life in its name;
For my soul like the coal that gives light in its burning,
Gives out all its own to love's mighty flame!

dearest luv, what a fine blend of words,
sentiment and heart ..

the last stanza is exquisitely stunning and
truely telling. Would that my words could match
the beauty and grace yours always embody.

I hear echoes here .. I feel them, mayhaps
even louder than the sound they emit. One of
the more beautiful things in your writes has
always been, for me, the amount of you I
find in them. Sometimes hidden, sometimes
softly lurking, but ever and always, a full emotion
of you moves me in a way that is gentle and rare ~

touched beyond xo
