The Punctual Tides.
The punctual tides, with sullen roar, AYash on tlxo se t coast’s pebbly floor ; Dark drift and floating wrecks they strew, Grinding the old and building new And buildingnew. So the long years, with muffled sound. Bring tribute from the far profound ; Hoarse winds and stooping c oiids go by. And man fares hence we know not why— We know not why. 1 tie titles of time, ihev rise or fall Witu that white waste that citcles all; Our years in vaster periods move, As our poor loves in lasting love — In lasting love.
