Life's city ways are dark,Men mutter by, the wellsOf the great waters moan.O death, O sea, O tide,The waters moan like bells.No light, no mark,The soul goes out aloneOn seas unknown.

The skies are sown with stars tonight,

The sea is sown with light,The hollows of the heaving floorGleam deep with light once more,The racing ebb-tide flashes pastAnd seeks the vacant vast,A wind steals from a world asleepAnd walks the restless deep.
