Classic Poem

Beyond all ferns and flowers:
Beyond the sunlit bowers:
Beyond the shadow of tree:
Beyond the grass-bright lea:

Beyond dull hearts and hands,
The one who understands!
Beyond dull soul and brain,
The soul that soothes all pain!

Beyond these meadows green,
The sea's grey glimmering sheen!
Beyond these stifling vales,
Sea-breath that never fails!

Beyond those far dim downs,
The soul that loves and crowns!
Beyond flower, field and tree,
You and the sea!
