Werum, Florence Ralston: THE HARBOUR - ZaunköniG - 14.10.2007 Florence Ralston Werum 1888 - 1960 Canada THE HARBOUR In the stilled back-wash the old man dozes, His oars at ease, his nodding rest attained In fancy's clear mirage; as the day closes He lives his best and least in dreams refrained. The gently stirring ripples turn his thoughts Back to the morning's eager running day Now doubly dear, in knowledge hardly bought That even harried waters' press gives way. Wave-breasting youth, and all high hopes and fears Pass in fogged panorama of regret! Broad-shouldered courage tips the stooping years, The sail now lowered in the pale sunset. He counts it well his harbour to regain The tide that outward goes, returns again. |
