The Voice Of Ocean
A cry went through the darkness; and the moon, Hurrying through storm, gazed with a ghastly face, Then cloaked herself in scud: the merman race Of surges ceased; and then th' Aeolian croon Of the wild siren, Wind, within the shrouds Sunk to a sigh. The ocean in that place Seemed listening; haunted, for a moment's space, By something dread that cried against the clouds. Mystery and night; and with them fog and rain: And then that cry again as if the deep Uttered its loneliness in one dark word: Her horror of herself; her Titan pain; Her monsters; and the dead that she must keep, Has kept, alone, for centuries, unheard.
