AMBERGRIS
89
The overarching miracles
Of loves desire, and Nights.
It swells, it rolls to triumph-song
Through luminous black skies ;
Thrills into silence sharp and strong,
Assumes its peace, and dies.
There is the night : it covers close
The lilies folded fair
Of all your beauty, and the rose
Half hidden in your hair.
There is the night : unseen I stand
And look to seaward still :
We would not look upon the land
Again, had I my will.
The ship is trim : to sea ! to sea !
Take life in either hand,
Crush out its wind for you and me,
And drink, and understand !
