The Ocean at Noon
#1
The Ocean at Noon.

OLD Ocean is at rest; but in his sleep
There are both solemn heave and heavy three;
These zenith rays, which on his dark face glow,
Are shivered by the fitful billowy sweep,
Which shakes him in his slumber. Shadows deep,
In forms phantasmal, o'er him come and go,
While sooming eddies of sad music flow
Around - haply, the wail of those who weep
Within his caverns!

Oh, how like the sea
Of human life, when lulled to brief repose,
Is this unreal, strange tranquillity
Of despot Ocean! Suddenly it throws
Its smile-lit bliss aside, full soon to be
A whirl of anarchy - wild gulf of woes.
