OUT OF THE SUNSET'S RED

                      
                        OUT of the sunset's red
                      
                        Into the blushing sea,
                      
                        The winds of day drop dead
                      
                        And dreams come home to me. —
                      
                        The sea is still,- and apart
                      
                        Is a stillness in my heart.

                      
                        The night comes up the beach,
                      
                        The dark steals over all,
                      
                        Though silence has no speech
                      
                        I hear the sea-dreams call
                      
                        To my heart; — and in reply
                      
                        It answers with a sigh.
