Though oak-beams split,
though boats and sea-men flounder,
and the strait grind sand with sand
and cut boulders to sand and drift--
your eyes have
pardoned
our faults,
your hands have touched us--
you have leaned forward a little
and the waves can never thrust us back
from the splendour of your ragged coast.

In the heart of the town was a grove deep with luxuriant shade, wherein
first the Phoenicians,
buffeted
by wave and whirlwind, dug up the token
Queen Juno had appointed, the head of a war horse: thereby was their
race to be through all ages illustrious in war and opulent in living.

Then the mortal
coldness
of the soul like Death itself comes down;

And though the eye may sparkle still, 'tis where the ice appears.

The maid whose note he still possessed
Wherein the heart its vows expressed,
Where all upon the surface lies,--

That girl whom once on a time he
Could in a humble sphere despise,
Can she have been a moment gone
Thus haughty,
careless
in her tone?
