“The phantom circle of a moaning sea.”
“Some whisper of the seething sea.”
“Clothed in white samite, mystic, wonderful.”
“Let thy voice
Rise like a fountain for me night and day.”
“And looking wistfully with wide blue eyes
As in a picture.”
“Clothed with his breath.”
“A cry that shiver’d to the tingling stars.”
Note how the following phrases give color to the poem:
“that day when the great light of heaven
Burn’d at his lowest in the rolling year.”
“Among the mountains by the winter sea.”
