WHERE THE MOUNTAIN SIPS THE SEA, by CHARLES JAMES First Line: Where the mountain sips the sea Last Line: Heed it, and you will rejoice. Subject(s): Mountains; Nature; Sea; Hills; Downs (great Britain); Ocean | |||
WHERE the mountain sips the sea, By an ocean wild and free, On a shore of grass and tree, Shall my future dwelling be. There at Nature's very heart She should unto me impart All the secrets of her art. — Then, awhile, I would depart. Seek the haunts of men again; Tell them how they can obtain Freedom from all fear and pain, So they list to this refrain: — "Come to me, O child of mine! — Why in misery repine When a happiness divine For the seeking can be thine?" Thus to children of her choice Constantly calls Nature's voice, Through the world's discordant noise. — Heed it, and you will rejoice. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HALL OF OCEAN LIFE by JOHN HOLLANDER JULY FOURTH BY THE OCEAN by ROBINSON JEFFERS BOATS IN A FOG by ROBINSON JEFFERS CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE FIGUREHEAD by LEONIE ADAMS A THOUGHT FROM NIETSZCHE by CHARLES JAMES |
