Ah, that's well done,
That's very well. I see them nod and bow
And echo what I've said; I see—I see—
Nay, nothing but a beauty such as time
In all its ebb and flow against this earth
Has never yet tossed, like a tinted shell,
High on the echoing beaches that look out
Toward the faint lights of the voyaging stars.
