Charlotte Smith - Huge Vapours Brood above the Clifted Shore
Work rating: Medium

  Huge vapours brood above the clifted shore,
  Night o`er the ocean settles, dark and mute,
  Save where is heard the repercussive roar
  Of drowsy billows, on the rugged foot
  Of rocks remote; or still more distant tone
  Of seamen, in the anchored bark, that tell
  The watch relieved; or one deep voice alone,
  Singing the hour, and bidding "strike the bell."
  All is black shadow, but the lucid line
 Marked by the light surf on the level sand,
 Or where afar, the ship-lights faintly shine
 Like wandering fairy fires, that oft on land
 Mislead the pilgrim; such the dubious ray
 That wavering reason lends, in life`s long darkling way.
