A GRAVEYARD by SILAS WEIR MITCHELL

First Line: AS BEATS THE UNRESTFUL SEA SOME ICE-CLAD ISLE
Last Line: THE GREAT VOICED CITY'S ROAR OF FRETFUL LIFE.
Subject(s): CEMETERIES; SEA; GRAVEYARDS; OCEAN;

AS beats the unrestful sea some ice-clad isle
Set in the sorrowful night of arctic seas,
Some lorn domain of endless silences,
So, echoless unanswered, falleth here
The great voiced city's roar of fretful life.
