Along the deep shelve of the abandoned shore	A
Bowed with slow pace and careful eyes that keep	B
The track they travel move an aged pair	C
The full voice of the Atlantic holds the air	C
In turbulent uproar	A
The sad South over desolation blows	D
The clouds in wild race never sleep	B
But they the shaken snows	D
Of trampling breakers heed not nor the hiss	E
Of quarrelling foam curves hurried up the strand	F
To fade upon the darkened glistening sand	F
Skirting that fretful line they from amid	G
The matted shells and seaweed heedfully	H
Glean their poor treasure hid	G
The scattered driftwood fragments bleached and dry	I
	-
Implacable ocean in whose ear	J
Even at this instant cries come uselessly	H
From mouths that the salt wave and gripping fear	K
Together choke far in the lonely storm	L
Where mighty ships conquered and battling drown	M
He to this powerless pair their simple store	A
Permits refraining fearing not his frown	M
They his expended rages hold in fee	N
And them his violent armies wound no more	A
Than the pale poppy on the neglected shore	A
	-
But now as evening closes they begin	O
Their homeward path bordered with heath and pine	P
And see afar their cottage roof and wall	H
White under red leaves of the October vine	P
Till glad and tired they win	O
The door and let their cherished burden fall	H
Then on the swept stones make their happy fire	Q
Soon a flame leaps and in the wavering gloom	R
The dim wall smiles and every nook of home	S
Invites them warm in welcoming attire	Q
The ripe gourd basks his jovial yellow girth	T
Rosily burnished gleam the onion strings	U
Above the pottage simmers in low mirth	T
And in an earthen brazier chestnuts crack	V
But each is busy now that nothing lack	V
And she in snatches sings	U
Old songs and he with chiding feigned the while	H
Chides her and meets her answer with a smile	H
At last when all is done to their desire	Q
They sup the low lamp kindles their old cheeks	W
And features moulded in the cast of Earth	T
Their infinite companion she but speaks	W
Simply to them in few words death and birth	T
Winter and summer rain and frost and sun	X
Nor they a care beyond the task invent	Y
Enough if day provide their need day done	X
They by each other's side sleep well content	Y
