A Night by the sea
In darkness the loud sea ¦¦¦¦¦ moan;
And ¦¦¦¦¦ is shaken, ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦
About ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ to ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ sleep!
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ the whirling blinding ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦
Out of the slow ¦¦¦¦ fight,
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ -- to ¦¦¦¦ asleep,
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ the night
¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦
Quiet ¦¦¦ still ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ . . .
Your magic ¦¦¦ your ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ strength,
¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ prevail ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦
In the ¦¦¦¦¦ gloom above ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦
Night ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ winds ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦
Move gently ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ and watch you there.
¦¦¦ through ¦¦¦ dreadful hours
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ waters ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ have kept
¦¦¦ sacred vigil while you slept,
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦
And still the darkness ebbs ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦
Quiet, and strange, ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦
And ¦¦¦¦ joy ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ is shed;
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ upon the deep.
(Blackout of The Charm by Rupert Brooke)
