THE long road and the low shore, a sail against the sky,
The ache in my heart's core, and hope so hard to die —
Ah me, but the day's long — and all the sails go by!
The long road and the dark shore, pools with stars aflame,
The ache in my heart's core, the hope I dare not name —
Ah, me, but the night's long — and every night the same!
