Algernon Charles Swinburne - In SarkAlgernon Charles Swinburne - In Sark
Work rating: Low


Abreast and ahead of the sea is a crag`s front cloven asunder With strong sea-breach and with wasting of winds whence terror is shed As a shadow of death from the wings of the darkness on waters that thunder   Abreast and ahead. At its edge is a sepulchre hollowed and hewn for a lone man`s bed, Propped open with rock and agape on the sky and the sea thereunder, But roofed and walled in well from the wrath of them slept its dead. Here might not a man drink rapture of rest, or delight above wonder, Beholding, a soul disembodied, the days and the nights that fled, With splendour and sound of the tempest around and above him and under,   Abreast and ahead?
