I stood by the shore at the death of day	A
As the sun sank flaming red	B
And the face of the waters that spread away	A
Was as gray as the face of the dead	B
	-
And I heard the cry of the wanton sea	C
And the moan of the wailing wind	D
For love's sweet pain in his heart had he	C
But the gray old sea had sinned	E
	-
The wind was young and the sea was old	F
But their cries went up together	G
The wind was warm and the sea was cold	F
For age makes wintry weather	G
	-
So they cried aloud and they wept amain	H
Till the sky grew dark to hear it	I
And out of its folds crept the misty rain	H
In its shroud like a troubled spirit	J
	-
For the wind was wild with a hopeless love	K
And the sea was sad at heart	L
At many a crime that he wot of	K
Wherein he had played his part	L
	-
He thought of the gallant ships gone down	H
By the will of his wicked waves	M
And he thought how the church yard in the town	H
Held the sea made widows' graves	M
	-
The wild wind thought of the love he had left	N
Afar in an Eastern land	O
And he longed as long the much bereft	N
For the touch of her perfumed hand	O
	-
In his winding wail and his deep heaved sigh	P
His aching grief found vent	Q
While the sea looked up at the bending sky	P
And murmured I repent	Q
	-
But e'en as he spoke a ship came by	P
That bravely ploughed the main	H
And a light came into the sea's green eye	P
And his heart grew hard again	H
	-
Then he spoke to the wind Friend seest thou not	R
Yon vessel is eastward bound	S
Pray speed with it to the happy spot	R
Where thy loved one may be found	S
	-
And the wind rose up in a dear delight	T
And after the good ship sped	B
But the crafty sea by his wicked might	T
Kept the vessel ever ahead	B
	-
Till the wind grew fierce in his despair	U
And white on the brow and lip	V
He tore his garments and tore his hair	U
And fell on the flying ship	V
	-
And the ship went down for a rock was there	U
And the sailless sea loomed black	W
While burdened again with dole and care	U
The wind came moaning back	W
	-
And still he moans from his bosom hot	R
Where his raging grief lies pent	Q
And ever when the ships come not	R
The sea says I repent	Q
