Grey rocks and greyer sea

M. Cave-Browne-Cave

Grey rocks, and greyer sea,

And surf along the shore --

And in my heart a name

My lips shall speak no more.

The high and lonely hills

Endure the darkening year --

And in my heart endure

A memory and a tear.

Across the tide a sail

That tosses, and is gone --

And in my heart the kiss

That longing dreams upon.

Grey rocks, and greyer sea,

And surf along the shore --

And in my heart the face

That I shall see no more.
