Be still, you ancient, rumbling foam,
Tearing fast the ribbon sands
Beneath this low-slung, graveyard sky,
And let the marram grass whisper softly o'er the towans.
Hark! A clanging bell for lost wild love,
For dreams cast far upon the waves,
On journeys turned from sunset's shimmering path
To bleak and cruelly colder seas.
Quiet your rage, you restless deep,
Tossing spume like Sirens' spittle,
And drown this stone-dressed, shivering shore
In the baleful darkness of your tides.
