Excerpt from book: THE COVES OF CRAIL The moon-white waters wash and leap, The dark tide floods the Coves of Crail; Sound, sound he lies in dreamless sleep, Nor hears the sea-wind wail. The pale gold of his oozy locks, Doth hither drift and thither wave; His thin hands plash against the rocks, His white lips nothing crave. Afar away she laughs and sings? A song he loved, a wild sea-strain? Of how the mermen weave their rings Upon the reef-set main. Sound, sound he lies in dreamless sleep, Nor hears the sea-wind wail, Though with the tide his white hands creep Amid the Coves of Crail. A DREAM Last night thro' a haunted land I went, Upon whose margins Ocean leant Waveless and soundless save for sighs That with the twilight airs were blent. And passing, hearing never stir Of footfall, or the startled whirr Of birds, I said, In this land lies Sleep's home, the secret haunt of her. And then I came upon a stone Whereon these words were writ alone, The soul who reads, its body dies Far hence that moment without moan. And then I knew that I was dead, And that the shadow overhead Was not the darkness of the skies But that from which my soul had fled.THE WANDERING VOICE They hear it in the sunless dale, It moans beside the stream. They hear it when the woodlands wail, And when the storm-winds scream. They hear it, ?going from the fields Through twilight-shadows home, ? It sighs across the silent wealds And far and wide doth roam. It moans upon the wind No more The House of Torquil stands; It comes at dusk, and o'er and o'er Haunts Torquil's lands. He rides down by the foaming linn? But hark what is it calls With faint far voice, so shrill and thin, The House of Tor q11il falls. He lifts the revel-cup at night..
