There is no thing except the sand, and me.

An endless bleaching yellowness lies here

Subject to silence and the silent Sun.

The sand has no beginning, neither end;

Around the isle have I sought end for it

And have found none, and when the wind is high

Even my footprints have been blown away

That marked one circuit ere I made the next.

Sometimes I curse the sea, but all the time

I know that she is guiltless, and I know
