Poet Analysis

First Line: SO LIKE A BOUNDLESS, SOUNDLESS SEA
Last Line: I'LL LIVE AND LIVE AND LIVE—TODAY!
Subject(s): LOVE;

So like a boundless, soundless sea
The miracle of love to me,
With all the world a rosy dream
Sailing upon a silver stream,
While I, a fairy in mid-air,
Am dancing, dancing everywhere.

Hark! do you hear the thunder peal?
I care not what it would reveal,
Tomorrow will be yesterday
When I am shivering and gray:

I will not heed the prompter's ring
Let others answer, I shall sing
And dance the merrier—away!
I'll live and live and live—today!
