John Bannister Tabb

1845-1909 / the United States

Dejection

The sun is gone; & the forsaken sea-
Her glance a tear
Wherein all depths of tenderness appear-
Looks back at me,
Where I upon the strand,
The centre of the lone horizon, stand
Forlorn as she,
To know that when her darkness drifts away
Mine own must stay.
