William Ernest Henley

1849 - 1902 / Gloucester / England

The Surges Gushed And Sounded

The surges gushed and sounded,
The blue was the blue of June,
And low above the brightening east
Floated a shred of moon.

The woods were black and solemn,
The night winds large and free,
And in your thought a blessing seemed
To fall on land and sea.
