I thought of you and how you love this beauty,<br />And walking up the long beach all alone<br />I heard the waves breaking in measured thunder<br />As you and I once heard their monotone.<br /><br />Around me were the echoing dunes, beyond me<br />The cold and sparkling silver of the sea --<br />We two will pass through death and ages lengthen<br />Before you hear that sound again with me.
