EVENING BY THE SEA by SILAS WEIR MITCHELL

First Line: WITH NOBLE WASTE OF LAZY HOURS
Last Line: THE DEAR OLD COMRADE TRIED.
Subject(s): LOITERING; MOON;

WITH noble waste of lazy hours
I loitered, till I saw the moon,
A rosy pearl, hang vast and strange
Above the long gray dune!

And hither, thither, as I went,
My ancient friend the sea beside,
Whatever tune my spirit sang
The dear old comrade tried.
