Classic Poem

M INGLINGS

I T is the old old vision,
The moonlit sea — and you.
I cannot make disseverance
Between the two.
For all the world's wide beauty
To me you seem,
All that I love in shadow
Or glow or gleam.

It is the old old murmur,
The sea's sound and your voice.
God in His Bliss between them
Could make no choice.
For all the world's deep music
In you I hear;
Nor shall I ask death, ever,
For aught more dear.
