The Moon is distant from the Sea —
From Wikisource
| ←Taking up the fair Ideal, (428) | The Moon is distant from the Sea — by 429 |
(430) It would never be Common — more — I said —→ |
The Moon is distant from the Sea —
And yet, with Amber Hands —
She leads Him — docile as a Boy —
Along appointed Sands —
He never misses a Degree —
Obedient to Her Eye
He comes just so far — toward the Town —
Just so far — goes away —
Oh, Signor, Thine, the Amber Hand —
And mine — the distant Sea —
Obedient to the least command
Thine eye impose on me —
