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 |
