Challenge
Why does the sea-mew scream
When I would lie at rest,
Floating in dreamless dream
On the dark sea's breast,
Floating forgetfully
On the unremembering sea
Of eternity?
Sick of the endless fret
Of blind and bitter strife,
Fain would my heart forget
The challenge of life:
But foam-heads ruffle and gleam,
And tumult shatters my dream
At the sea-mew's scream.
When I would lie at rest,
Floating in dreamless dream
On the dark sea's breast,
Floating forgetfully
On the unremembering sea
Of eternity?
Sick of the endless fret
Of blind and bitter strife,
Fain would my heart forget
The challenge of life:
But foam-heads ruffle and gleam,
And tumult shatters my dream
At the sea-mew's scream.
