THE SUNLIGHT glitters keen and bright	A
Where miles away	B
Lies stretching to my dazzled sight	A
A luminous belt a misty light	A
Beyond the dark pine bluffs and wastes of sandy gray	B
The tremulous shadow of the Sea	C
Against its ground	D
Of silvery light rock hill and tree	C
Still as a picture clear and free	C
With varying outline mark the coast for miles around	D
	-
On on we tread with loose flung rein	E
Our seaward way	B
Through dark green fields and blossoming grain	E
Where the wild brier rose skirts the lane	E
And bends above our heads the flowering locust spray	B
	-
Ha like a kind hand on my brow	F
Comes this fresh breeze	G
Cooling its dull and feverish glow	H
While through my being seems to flow	H
The breath of a new life the healing of the seas	G
	-
Now rest we where this grassy mound	D
His feet hath set	I
In the great waters which have bound	D
His granite ankles greenly round	D
With long and tangled moss and weeds with cool spray wet	I
	-
Good by to Pain and Care I take	J
Mine ease to day	B
Here where these sunny waters break	J
And ripples this keen breeze I shake	J
All burdens from the heart all weary thoughts away	B
	-
I draw a freer breath I seem	K
Like all I see	C
Waves in the sun the white winged gleam	K
Of sea birds in the slanting beam	K
And far off sails which flit before the south wind free	C
	-
So when Time s veil shall fall asunder	L
The soul may know	H
No fearful change nor sudden wonder	L
Nor sink the weight of mystery under	L
But with the upward rise and with the vastness grow	H
	-
And all we shrink from now may seem	K
No new revealing	M
Familiar as our childhood s stream	K
Or pleasant memory of a dream	K
The loved and cherished Past upon the new life stealing	M
	-
Serene and mild the untried light	A
May have its dawning	M
And as in summer s northern night	A
The evening and the dawn unite	A
The sunset hues of Time blend with the soul s new morning	M
	-
I sit alone in foam and spray	B
Wave after wave	N
Breaks on the rocks which stern and gray	B
Shoulder the broken tide away	B
Or murmurs hoarse and strong through mossy cleft and cave	N
	-
What heed I of the dusty land	O
And noisy town	P
I see the mighty deep expand	O
From its white line of glimmering sand	O
To where the blue of heaven on bluer waves shuts down	P
	-
In listless quietude of mind	Q
I yield to all	R
The change of cloud and wave and wind	Q
And passive on the flood reclined	Q
I wander with the waves and with them rise and fall	R
	-
But look thou dreamer wave and shore	S
In shadow lie	T
The night wind warns me back once more	S
To where my native hill tops o er	L
Bends like an arch of fire the glowing sunset sky	T
	-
So then beach bluff and wave farewell	U
I bear with me	C
No token stone nor glittering shell	U
But long and oft shall Memory tell	U
Of this brief thoughtful hour of musing by the Sea	C
