Leaves

Under which the bright sea heaves,

While each breathless interval

In their whisperings musical

The inspired soul supplies

With its own deep melodies.

SHELLEY.

God's own profound

Was above me, and round me the mountains,

[merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][ocr errors]

To hear each other's whispered specch;
Eating the Lotos day by day,

To watch the crisping ripples on the beach,
And tender curving lines of creamy spray.
To lend our hearts and spirits wholly
To the influence of mild-minded melancholy
To muse and brood, and live again in memory.

TENNYSON.

That hears all night

The plunging seas draw backward from the land Their moon-led waters white.

And the great sea-waves below,
Pulse o' the midnight, beating slow.

WHITTIER.

TENNYSON.
