Part Four: Time and Eternity
XXVI

| TWO swimmers wrestled on the spar | |
| Until the morning sun, | |
| When one turned smiling to the land. | |
| O God, the other one! | |
| |
| The stray ships passing spied a face | 5 |
| Upon the waters borne, | |
| With eyes in death still begging raised, | |
| And hands beseeching thrown. | |
