Excerpt from Pebbles and Shells: A Book of Verses
My Mission.
When I would launch my fragile craft
On Thought's vast, boundless sea,
The waves upcurl in awful swirl
Of mystic revelry,
And overwhelm my puny bark,
And well-nigh smother me.
And so I e'en content myself,
And wander on the marge
Of that grand tide I may not ride,
And scan its sky-rim large;
Or follow with my fancy's eye
Another's outbound barge.
Anon I gather from the strand
A pretty pebble clear,
A sea-flower bell, or sounding shell,
Then send them far and near
In hopes that some the magic main
Through them might see and hear.
