ECHOES: 10 by WILLIAM ERNEST HENLEY

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE SEA IS FULL OF WANDERING FOAM
Last Line: O, DARK AND LOUD'S THE NIGHT!

The sea is full of wandering foam,
The sky of driving cloud;
My restless thoughts among them roam . . .
The night is dark and loud.

Where are the hours that came to me
So beautiful and bright?
A wild wind shakes the wilder sea . . .
O, dark and loud's the night!
