The poetical works of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow | ||
THE CITY AND THE SEA.
The panting City cried to the Sea,
“I am faint with heat,—Oh breathe on me!”
“I am faint with heat,—Oh breathe on me!”
And the Sea said, “Lo, I breathe! but my breath
To some will be life, to others death!”
To some will be life, to others death!”
As to Prometheus, bringing ease
In pain, come the Oceanides,
In pain, come the Oceanides,
So to the City, hot with the flame
Of the pitiless sun, the east wind came.
Of the pitiless sun, the east wind came.
279
It came from the heaving breast of the deep,
Silent as dreams are, and sudden as sleep.
Silent as dreams are, and sudden as sleep.
Life-giving, death-giving, which will it be;
O breath of the merciful, merciless Sea?
O breath of the merciful, merciless Sea?
The poetical works of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow | ||
