Finding in your bareness, seeing in your sadness,

That which, going elsewhere, I shall find no more.

A MIDNIGHT VISION

A grey peak, naked as some sharp-edged cloud,

Splintering the smooth breast of a placid sky,

Rough to the hand, it charms the tired eye;

Small tufts of sea-pink round its basement crowd,

A tide beneath, that mounts and tumbles by

In monstrous wrinkles, each ten cubits high.

Around a ship-less, sail-less wilderness,
