BY THE NORTH SEA.
His gift that renews in the giving.
The joy that exalts him to be
Alone of all elements living
The lord of the sea.

More fierce than all fires are her waves:
What is earth, that its gulfs should entomb her?
More deep are her own than their graves.
Life shrinks from his pinions that cover
The darkness by thunders bedinned:
But she knows him, her lord and her lover,
The godhead of wind.
