FROM THE EAST TO THE WEST.

Andrew Lang

Returning from what other seas Dost thou renew thy murmuring, Weak Tide, and hast thou aught of these To tell, the shores where float and cling

My love, my hope, my memories? Say does my lady wake to note The gold light into silver die? Or do thy waves make lullaby,

While dreams of hers, like angels, float Through star-sown spaces of the sky? Ah, would such angels came to me That dreams of mine might speak with hers,

Nor wake the slumber of the sea With words as low as winds that be Awake among the gossamers!
