Excerpt from Killantringan and Other Poems Washing upon a mystic Shore While strange sea voices evermore Chanted old psalms unto my soul, Of frail Mortality's joy and dole Of Life as it teems in sea, on land, Changing God's coin into golden sand, Sanded ore into burnished gold, Changing and changing by oceans rolled. And a myriad voices played for me A magical, musical melody Sounds rising sweetly to Silent stars, Or floating away with strange moans and To the ether that Winds about the earth Like a veil of gauze. O, joyous Mirth Therein was never a place for thee Thou wert lost like tears in a Rhapsody. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
