Riddles Of Merlin
As I was walking
Alone by the sea,
'What is that whisper?'
Said Merlin to me.
'Only,' I answered,
'The sigh of the wave'--
'Oh, no,' replied Merlin,
''Tis the grass on your grave.'
As I lay dreaming
In churchyard ground
'Listen,' said Merlin,
'What is that sound?'
'The green grass is growing,'
I answered; but he
Chuckled, 'Oh, no!
'Tis the sound of the sea.'
As I went homeward
At dusk by the shore,
'What is that crimson?'
Said Merlin once more.
'Only the sun,' I said.
'Sinking to rest'--
'Sunset for East,' he said,
'Sunrise for West.'
