Evening By The Seaside

The monsters of the deep do roar,
  And their huge manes upon the shore
  Plunge headlong, with a thundering sound,
  That shakes the hollow-hearted ground:
  And yet, amidst this din I hear
  Thy gentle voice close at mine ear,
  Whispering sweet words of love, that shake
  My soul with the soft sound they make.
  The cup of Heaven o'erflows with light,
  The sea's broad shield is burnished bright,
  And the whole earth doth glow and shine
  Like a red, radiant, evening shrine.
  And in this splendour, all I see
  Are thy dear eyes beholding me,
  With such a tender, steadfast gaze,
  My life seems melting in their rays.
