We saw the slow tides go and come	A
The curving surf lines lightly drawn	B
The gray rocks touched with tender bloom	C
Beneath the fresh blown rose of dawn	B
	-
We saw in richer sunsets lost	D
The sombre pomp of showery noons	E
And signalled spectral sails that crossed	D
The weird low light of rising moons	E
	-
On stormy eves from cliff and head	F
We saw the white spray tossed and spurned	G
While over all in gold and red	F
Its face of fire the lighthouse turned	G
	-
The rail car brought its daily crowds	H
Half curious half indifferent	I
Like passing sails or floating clouds	H
We saw them as they came and went	J
	-
But one calm morning as we lay	K
And watched the mirage lifted wall	L
Of coast across the dreamy bay	K
And heard afar the curlew call	L
	-
And nearer voices wild or tame	M
Of airy flock and childish throng	N
Up from the water's edge there came	M
Faint snatches of familiar song	N
	-
Careless we heard the singer's choice	O
Of old and common airs at last	P
The tender pathos of his voice	O
In one low chanson held us fast	P
	-
A song that mingled joy and pain	Q
And memories old and sadly sweet	R
While timing to its minor strain	Q
The waves in lapsing cadence beat	R
	-
	-
	-
The waves are glad in breeze and sun	S
The rocks are fringed with foam	T
I walk once more a haunted shore	U
A stranger yet at home	T
A land of dreams I roam	T
	-
Is this the wind the soft sea wind	V
That stirred thy locks of brown	W
Are these the rocks whose mosses knew	X
The trail of thy light gown	W
Where boy and girl sat down	W
	-
I see the gray fort's broken wall	L
The boats that rock below	Y
And out at sea the passing sails	Z
We saw so long ago	Y
Rose red in morning's glow	Y
	-
The freshness of the early time	A2
On every breeze is blown	B2
As glad the sea as blue the sky	C2
The change is ours alone	B2
The saddest is my own	B2
	-
A stranger now a world worn man	D2
Is he who bears my name	M
But thou methinks whose mortal life	E2
Immortal youth became	M
Art evermore the same	M
	-
Thou art not here thou art not there	F2
Thy place I cannot see	G2
I only know that where thou art	H2
The blessed angels be	G2
And heaven is glad for thee	G2
	-
Forgive me if the evil years	I2
Have left on me their sign	J2
Wash out O soul so beautiful	K2
The many stains of mine	J2
In tears of love divine	J2
	-
I could not look on thee and live	L2
If thou wert by my side	M2
The vision of a shining one	S
The white and heavenly bride	M2
Is well to me denied	M2
	-
But turn to me thy dear girl face	N2
Without the angel's crown	W
The wedded roses of thy lips	O2
Thy loose hair rippling down	W
In waves of golden brown	W
	-
Look forth once more through space and time	A2
And let thy sweet shade fall	L
In tenderest grace of soul and form	P2
On memory's frescoed wall	L
A shadow and yet all	L
	-
Draw near more near forever dear	Q2
Where'er I rest or roam	T
Or in the city's crowded streets	R2
Or by the blown sea foam	T
The thought of thee is home	T
	-
	-
	-
At breakfast hour the singer read	F
The city news with comment wise	S2
Like one who felt the pulse of trade	T2
Beneath his finger fall and rise	S2
	-
His look his air his curt speech told	U2
The man of action not of books	V2
To whom the corners made in gold	U2
And stocks were more than seaside nooks	V2
	-
Of life beneath the life confessed	W2
His song had hinted unawares	X2
Of flowers in traffic's ledgers pressed	W2
Of human hearts in bulls and bears	X2
	-
But eyes in vain were turned to watch	Y2
That face so hard and shrewd and strong	N
And ears in vain grew sharp to catch	Z2
The meaning of that morning song	N
	-
In vain some sweet voiced querist sought	A3
To sound him leaving as she came	M
Her baited album only caught	B3
A common unromantic name	M
	-
No word betrayed the mystery fine	J2
That trembled on the singer's tongue	C3
He came and went and left no sign	J2
Behind him save the song he sung	C3
