On the Shore

By Robert Kelley Weeks (1840–1876)

HERE many a time she must have walked,

The dull and brightening ’neath her feet,

The cool air quivering as she talked,

Or laughed, or warbled sweet.

The shifting sand no trace of her,

No sound the wandering wind retains,

But, breaking where the foot-prints were,

Loudly the sea complains.
