A Sea-Side Walk

We walked beside the sea,

After a day which perished silently

Of its own glory---like the Princess weird

Who, combating the Genius, scorched and seared,

Uttered with burning breath, Ho! victory!

And sank adown, an heap of ashes pale;

So runs the Arab tale.

The sky above us showed

An universal and unmoving cloud,

On which, the cliffs permitted us to see

Only the outline of their majesty,

As master-minds, when gazed at by the crowd!

And, shining with a gloom, the water grey

Swang in its moon-taught way.

Nor moon nor stars were out.

They did not dare to tread so soon about,

Though trembling, in the footsteps of the sun.
