Rhapsody

Moon-lit sea coast, wild rose blowing,Smack of salt, and gray gull’s cry:Night that is wild with the exultationOf the bellowing breath from a cool, clear sky:Green waves swinging down the moon-pathPause and lean and break and roar,Making full majestic music,As they pound the sounding shore.Oh, to forget! half-mad with moon-light,And toss with the cold waves where they go,Cedar green and molten silver,Tireless tumult of ebb and flow,Rapturous, wild, eternal rhythm,To and fro.ARTHUR MILLIKEN.

Moon-lit sea coast, wild rose blowing,

Smack of salt, and gray gull’s cry:

Night that is wild with the exultation

Of the bellowing breath from a cool, clear sky:

Green waves swinging down the moon-pathPause and lean and break and roar,Making full majestic music,As they pound the sounding shore.

Green waves swinging down the moon-path

Pause and lean and break and roar,

Making full majestic music,

As they pound the sounding shore.

Oh, to forget! half-mad with moon-light,And toss with the cold waves where they go,Cedar green and molten silver,Tireless tumult of ebb and flow,Rapturous, wild, eternal rhythm,To and fro.

Oh, to forget! half-mad with moon-light,

And toss with the cold waves where they go,

Cedar green and molten silver,

Tireless tumult of ebb and flow,

Rapturous, wild, eternal rhythm,

To and fro.
