CLEAVAGE of sea and sky, Ever elusive line, Though I follow it far, Far as the Ultimate Isles, Never it seems more nigh, -- Shifting shadow and shine, -- Dim as a distant star That beckons and beguiles. Dawn-dream of my heart, Dusk-dream of my soul, Though I follow thee long Into the night's deep shades, Never attained thou art, Never I gain the goal; Thou art like a song That ever and ever evades. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BROKEN PITCHER by WILLIAM EDMONSTOUNE AYTOUN THE BARON'S LAST BANQUET by ALBERT GORTON GREENE A NET TO SNARE THE MOONLIGHT by NICHOLAS VACHEL LINDSAY THE BRAVEST BATTLE by CINCINNATUS HEINE MILLER BRUCE: HOW KING ROBERT WAS HUNTED BY THE SLEUTH-HOUND by JOHN BARBOUR |
