ON THE SOUTH COAST.
41
Yet no vision that heals division of love from love, and
renews awhile
Life and breath in the lips where death has quenched
the spirit of speech and smile,
Shows on earth, or in heaven's mid mirth, where no fears
enter or doubts defile,
Aught more fair than the radiant air and water here by
the twilight wed,
Here made one by the waning sun whose last love
quickens to rosebright red
Half the crown of the soft high down that rears to
northward its wood-girt head.
There, when day is at height of sway, men's eyes who
stand, as we oft have stood,
High where towers with its world of flowers the golden
spinny that flanks the wood,
See before and around them shore and seaboard glad as
their gifts are good.
