Alfred Noyes - Riddles Of MerlinAlfred Noyes - Riddles Of Merlin
Work rating: Low


As I was walking   Alone by the sea, "_What is that whisper?_"   Said Merlin to me. "Only," I answered,   "The sigh of the wave"-- "_Oh, no_," replied Merlin,   "_`Tis the grass on your grave_." As I lay dreaming   In churchyard ground "_Listen_," said Merlin,   "_What is that sound_?" "The green grass is growing,"   I answered; but he Chuckled, "_Oh, no!   `Tis the sound of the sea_." As I went homeward   At dusk by the shore, "_What is that crimson?_"   Said Merlin once more. "Only the sun," I said. "Sinking to rest"-- "_Sunset for East_," he said,   "_Sunrise for West_."
