"My brain is like the ravaged shores-the sand
Torn cruelly by footsteps from the land.
O hushing waves; O profound sea of sleep,
Send your curved ripples surely-lapping. Creep,
Pour on the scarred surface of my brain;
With your vast pity, wash it smooth again."
HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL.

HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL.

Poetry - almost medieval-like poems written with a childlike, bucolic voice. Very nice and gentle
