SHADOWS OFF THE COAST - ZaunköniG - 01.01.2011 SHADOWS OFF THE COAST The moon was bright, and o'er the tranquil flood She sped the silver ripples to the shore, Where in yon sea-side house two lovers stood, Once more to part, and then to part no more. The table lamp with its reflected ray Brought out two human figures on the bay, Through the closed window, phantom-like and thin But timing all the gestures from within. Oh ! with what loving laughter did they gaze On their own forms, and on that mimic blaze ! But, when she left the spot, his eyes grew dim : She pass'd at once by sea and land from him : She was no longer at his side, and he Sat by his lonely lamp on land and sea. |
