BY THE NORTH SEA.

VII.


i.

But afar on the headland exalted,

⁠But beyond in the curl of the bay,
From the depth of his dome deep-vaulted
⁠Our father is lord of the day.
Our father and lord that we follow,
⁠For deathless and ageless is he;
And his robe is the whole sky's hollow,
⁠His sandal the sea.
