Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Driftwood: And Other Poems
Life's ocean casts up many a drifting spar, Flotsam of wrecks long since without a name, That lends the hearth a variable ?ame, And glitters like the Cross Whose rays afar Shine on the seas beyond the coral bar. It keeps its tale of glory or of shame And will not ever tell us whence it came N or of What forest growth its fibers are. Clear fire of driftwood, burning on the shore, Cast forth your changing hues across the main And light a phantom vessel on the waves, It bears the forms we never shall see more, Those Whom the watchers waited for in vain, The Dreams that sleep in unfo-rgotten graves.
