With short, sharp violent lights made vivid,[00:00:22]

To southward far as the sight can roam,[00:00:29]

Only the swirl of the surges livid,[00:00:35]

The seas that climb and the surfs that comb.[00:00:40]

Only the crag and the cliff to nor'ward,[00:00:45]

The rocks receding, and reefs flung forward,[00:00:49]

Waifs wreck'd seaward and wasted shoreward,[00:00:54]

On shallows sheeted with flaming foam.[00:01:00]

A grim, gray coast and a seaboard ghastly,[00:01:16]

And shores trod seldom by feet of men -[00:01:21]

Where the batter'd hull and the broken mast lie,[00:01:26]

They have lain embedded these long years ten.[00:01:31]

Love! Love! when we wandered here together,[00:01:40]

Hand in hand! Hand in hand through the sparkling weather,[00:01:51]

From the heights and hollows of fern and heather,[00:02:01]

God surely loved us a little then.[00:02:18]

The skies were fairer, the shores were firmer -[00:02:34]

The blue sea over the bright sand roll'd;[00:02:41]

Babble and prattle, and ripple and murmur,[00:02:49]

Sheen of silver and glamour of gold.[00:02:58]

Sheen of silver and glamour of gold.[00:03:09]

So, girt with tempest and wing'd with thunder[00:03:31]

And clad with lightning and shod with sleet,[00:03:38]

And strong winds treading the swift waves under[00:03:44]

The flying rollers with frothy feet.[00:03:49]

One gleam like a bloodshot sword-blade swims on[00:03:54]

The sky line, staining the green gulf crimson,[00:03:59]

A death-stroke fiercely dealt by a dim sun[00:04:03]

That strikes through his stormy winding sheet.[00:04:09]

O brave white horses! you gather and gallop,[00:04:21]

The storm sprite loosens the gusty rains;[00:04:26]

O brave white horses! you gather and gallop,[00:04:30]

The storm sprite loosens the gusty rains;[00:04:35]

Now the stoutest ship were the frailest shallop[00:04:41]

In your hollow backs, on your high-arched manes.[00:04:47]

I would ride as never man has ridden[00:04:52]

In your sleepy, swirling surges hidden;[00:04:57]

I would ride as never man has ridden[00:05:07]

To gulfs foreshadow'd through strifes forbidden,[00:05:15]

Where no light wearies and no love wanes.[00:05:21]

No love,[00:05:30]

Where no love, no love wanes.[00:05:32]
