A Symbol of Immortality

A wave far out upon the smiling blue,
Looks faint at first on Ocean's dimpled floor,
But strengthens as it hastens to the shore,
Where all its power and meaning come to view,
As on it sweeps with crest of snowy hue,
Amidst the seething floods and wild uproar,
Of mighty billows striving evermore,
To make the self-same goal so old yet new.
Now brighter, prouder rolls the swelling wave,
With flashing curve straight for the land,
And aiming high for glory or the grave,
It pours its mighty waters on the strand,
In one resounding paean strong and brave,
It rings its triumph o'er the golden sand.
