THE WIND AND THE SEA

THE WIND AND THE SEA

Never the long wind dieth, Never, never, But sigheth, crieth, In its old endeavor, Where the shifting sand and shingle Meet and mingle, And the lifting land and the surge of the waters sever! Never the long wind faileth. Never, never, But still availeth In its old endeavor; Mortals, the changeful-hearted, May be parted, But the wind and the sea are wedded forever and ever!
