Lonely Sky and Sea

Marjorie Meeker

From “Songs of Night”

O LONELY, lonely sky and sea—

Where time is a wind that plays between,

Blowing the colored centuries by,

Tiny tragedies, quaint and mean—

Why are you waiting? What have you heard?

What majestic thing have you known,

That you watch each other, listening,

So long, so long alone?
