Seascape
Language: English
From the shifting sands of the lone white dunes I gaze upon the sea, Watching the billows that rise and fall With a rhythmical majesty. Restless thou art and restful too, With their changing moods, O sea, Now calm, now surging in tempest tossed, Thou are all of Life's symbol to me.
