The Moon is distant from the Sea — And yet, with Amber Hands — She leads Him — docile as a Boy — Along appointed Sands — He never misses a Degree — Obedient to Her Eye He comes just so far — toward the Town — Just so far — goes away — Oh, Signor, Thine, the Amber Hand — And mine — the distant Sea — Obedient to the least command Thine eye impose on me —
Emily! (from New England)
