Dear I am lonely for the bay is stillA
As any hill girt lake the long brown beachB
Lies bare and wet As far as eye can reachB
There is no motion Even on the hillA
Where the breeze loves to wander I can seeC
No stir of leaves nor any waving treeC
-
There is a great red cliff that fronts my viewD
A bare unsightly thing it angers meC
With its unswerving grim monotonyC
The mackerel weir with branching boughs askewD
Stands like a fire swept forest while the seaC
Laps it with soothing sighs continuallyC
-
There are no tempests in this sheltered bayE
The stillness frets me and I long to beC
Where winds sweep strong and blow tempestuouslyC
To stand upon some hill top far awayE
And face a gathering gale and let the stressF
Of Nature's mood subdue my restlessnessG
-
An impulse seizes me a mad desireH
To tear away that red browed cliff to sweepI
Its crest of trees and huts into the deepI
To force a gap by axe or storm or fireH
And let rush in with motion glad and freeC
The rolling waves of the wild wondrous seaC
-
Sometimes I wonder if I am the childJ
Of calm law loving parents or a strayE
From some wild gypsy camp I cannot stayE
Quiet among my fellows when this wildJ
Longing for freedom takes me I must flyC
To my dear woods and know my libertyC
-
It is this cringing to a social lawC
That I despise these changing senseless formsK
Of fashion And until a thousand stormsK
Of God's impatience shall reveal the flawC
In man's pet system he will weave the spellC
About his heart and dream that all is wellC
-
Ah Life is hard Dear Heart for I am leftL
To battle with my old time fears aloneM
I must live calmly on and make no moanM
Though of my hoped for happiness bereftL
Thou wilt not come and still the red cliff liesN
Hiding my ocean from these longing eyesN
