Poetry of Kansas

Fog

Like wheeling birds, soft wailing words
Are rising and falling-an old sea tune,
From a passing ship, that hidden slips,
Fog-veiled, where mystic waves low croon.
The sea-gulls cry from the darkening sky,
The fog looms pallidly over the sea,
And the breakers roar, 'gainst the shrinking shore,
While Sorrow walks the strand with me.
