Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sonnets and Other Poems
Upon an isle I stand, And all around the restless ocean flows; I hear its ceaseless surging as it goes Through caves along the strand; And as I gaze, it seems that all I learn, Or dream, or think, is like the tiny burn That gurgles past my feet, Those mighty waves to greet, So small it is, while 0, where'er I turn, The seething main outspreads, Till with the sky it weds, Nor ends e'en there, where earth seems heaven meet. Despairingly my heart begins to beat, Why labour so it asks; Too arduous are the tasks Of this great world for hands so weak as thine.
