Poem
WHEN descends on the Atlantic The gigantic Storm-wind of the equinox Landward in his wrath he scourges The toiling surges 5 Laden with seaweed from the rocks: From Bermuda's reefs; from edges Of sunken ledges In some far-off bright Azore; From Bahama and the dashing 10 Silver-flashing Surges of San Salvador; From the tumbling surf that buries The Orkneyan skerries Answering the hoarse Hebrides; 15 And from wrecks of ships and drifting Spars uplifting On the desolate rainy seas;¡ª Ever drifting drifting drifting On the shifting 20 Currents of the restless main; Till in sheltered coves and reaches Of sandy beaches All have found repose again. So when storms of wild emotion 25 Strike the ocean Of the poet's soul erelong From each cave and rocky fastness In its vastness Floats some fragment of a song: 30 From the far-off isles enchanted Heaven has planted With the golden fruit of Truth; From the flashing surf whose vision Gleams Elysian 35 In the tropic clime of Youth; From the strong Will and the Endeavor That forever Wrestle with the tides of Fate; From the wreck of Hopes far-scattered 40 Tempest-shattered Floating waste and desolate;¡ª Ever drifting drifting drifting On the shifting Currents of the restless heart; 45 Till at length in books recorded They like hoarded Household words no more depart.
