The tears uprose in blinding rain,

Such hopeless yearning stirred my soul

To lay my hand in his again!

THE SEA-GARDENS OF SANTA CATALINA

Lightly let the boat go drifting,

Neither hand nor oar uplifting,

Let no motion fret the ocean, and no sail be now unfurled;

Stranger than Aladdin’s story,

Lo, the dream-surpassing glory

And the marvel unimagined of the limpid underworld!
