 | The Complete Poems of Christina Rossetti |  |
“Was Thy Wrath against the Sea?”
The sea laments with unappeasableHankering wail of loss,
Lifting its hands on high and passing by
Out of the lovely light:
269
Of clamorous waves which toss;
Lifting its hands on high it passes by
From light into the night.
Peace, peace, thou sea! God's wisdom worketh well,
Assigns it crown or cross:
Lift we all hands on high, and passing by
Attest: God doeth right.
