A Song By The Shore.

    By Bliss Carman (William)



    "Lose and love" is love's first art;
    So it was with thee and me,
    For I first beheld thy heart
    On the night I last saw thee.
    Pine-woods and mysteries!
    Sea-sands and sorrows!
    Hearts fluttered by a breeze
    That bodes dark morrows, morrows,--
    Bodes dark morrows!

    Moonlight in sweet overflow
    Poured upon the earth and sea!
    Lovelight with intenser glow
    In the deeps of thee and me!
    Clasped hands and silences!
    Hearts faint and throbbing!
    The weak wind sighing in the trees!
    The strong surf sobbing, sobbing,--
    The strong surf sobbing!
