On the Beach at Fontana

James Joyce

WIND whines and whines the shingle,

The crazy pier-stakes groan;

A senile sea numbers each single

Slime-silvered stone.

From whining wind and colder

Grey sea I wrap him warm,

And touch his fine-boned boyish shoulder

And trembling arm.

Around us fear, descending,

Darkness of fear above;

And in my heart how sweet unending

Ache of love.
