Where the horn of the headland is sharper,

And her green floor glitters with fire,

The sea has the sun for a harper,

The sun has the sea for a lyre.

The waves are a pavement of amber,

By the feet of the sea-winds trod

To receive in a god’s presence-chamber

Our father, the God.

Time, haggard and changeful and hoary,

Is master and god of the land:
