as is the sea marvelous | |
|
from god's | |
|
hands which sent her forth | |
|
to sleep upon the world | |
| 5 |
and the earth withers |
|
the moon crumbles | |
|
one by one | |
|
stars flutter into dust | |
|
but the sea | |
| 10 |
does not change |
|
and she goes forth out of hands and | |
|
she returns into hands | |
|
and is with sleep . . . . | |
|
love, | |
| 15 |
the breaking |
|
of your | |
|
soul | |
|
upon | |
|
my lips |
