Lonely Sky and Sea

By Marjorie Meeker


From “Songs of Night” O LONELY, lonely sky and sea—
Where time is a wind that plays between,
Blowing the colored centuries by,
Tiny tragedies, quaint and mean—

Why are you waiting? What have you heard?	5
What majestic thing have you known,
That you watch each other, listening,
So long, so long alone?
