| 61. Grey Rocks and Greyer Sea |
| | | By Charles G. D. Roberts |
| |
| |
| GREY rocks, and greyer sea, | |
| And surf along the shore— | |
| And in my heart a name | |
| My lips shall speak no more. | |
| |
| The high and lonely hills | 5 |
| Endure the darkening year— | |
| And in my heart endure | |
| A memory and a tear. | |
| |
| Across the tide a sail | |
| That tosses, and is gone— | 10 |
| And in my heart the kiss | |
| That longing dreams upon. | |
| |
| Grey rocks, and greyer sea, | |
| And surf along the shore— | |
| And in my heart the face | 15 |
| That I shall see no more. | |
