SUBMERGENCE by HAZEL HALL

First Line: THE ONLY LONELINESS IS THE WIND'S
Last Line: AND THE SEA MUST HUSH AN ETERNAL CRY.
Subject(s): SOLITUDE; LONELINESS;
The only loneliness is the wind's,
The only sorrow is the sea's.
Why must a heart ache all life long
To learn such simple truths as these?

Lonely hours burn out like candles,
And sorrow is a leaf swept by;
But the wind is lonely forever and forever,
And the sea must hush an eternal cry.
