Haunted Seas

Title:     Haunted Seas
Author: Cale Young Rice [More Titles by Rice]

A gleaming glassy ocean,
Under a sky of gray;
A tide that dreams of motion,
Or moves, as the dead may;
A bird that dips and wavers
Over lone waters round,
Then with a cry that quavers
Is gone--a spectral sound.

The brown sad sea-weed drifting
Far from the land, and lost.
The faint warm fog unlifting,
The derelict long-tossed,
But now at rest--tho haunted
By the death-scenting shark,
Whose prey no more undaunted
Slips from it, spent and stark.

[The end]
Cale Young Rice's poem: Haunted Seas
