Walking by The Sea and Thinking

Anon.




Grey breakers rolling in and white gulls riding

From wave to wave. I wonder if they know

How deep below their wings the water lies?

Should this be so,

Or could they tell how high the breakers roll,

Then they might also read my lord’s deep soul,

Which I shall never know.
