Abstract
Outre Mer
I see, as one in dreaming,
A broad, bright, quiet sea; Beyond it lies a haven—
The only home for me.
Some men grow strong with trouble, But all my strength is past,
And tired and full of sorrow I long to sleep at last.
By force of chance and changes Man’s life is hard at best;
And, seeing rest is voiceless, The dearest thing is rest.
Beyond the sea—behold it, The home I wish to seek,
The refuge of the weary, The solace of the weak!
Sweet angel fingers beckon, Sweet angel voices ask
My soul to cross the waters; And yet I dread the task.
God help the man whose trials Are tares that he must reap;
He cannot face the future— His only hope is sleep.
Across the main a vision
Of sunset coasts, and skies, And widths of waters gleaming,
Enchant my human eyes.
I, who have sinned and suffered,
Have sought—with tears have sought—
