A poem by Thomas Moore

The Halcyon Hangs O'er Ocean

________________________________________________
Title:     The Halcyon Hangs O'er Ocean
Author: Thomas Moore [More Titles by Moore]

The halcyon hangs o'er ocean,
The sea-lark skims the brine;
This bright world's all in motion,
No heart seems sad but mine.

To walk thro' sun-bright places,
With heart all cold the while;
To look in smiling faces,
When we no more can smile;

To feel, while earth and heaven
Around thee shine with bliss,
To thee no light is given,--
Oh, what a doom is this!






[The end]
Thomas Moore's poem: Halcyon Hangs O'er Ocean
