The Mourner

Charles Granville

O SEA, whose tides are as eternity,

Whose ebb and flow survive all human pain!

O timeless sea! heal now this wound of time

That my life-tide may flow in hope again:

But if, though willing, thou art impotent,

Beseech in pity the bland, pain-rid moon

That she will take unto herself this heart,

And in her bosom fashion it to stone.
