Pacific Poems

Excerpt from Pacific Poems

And then I slept, and sleeping I dream'd Of great green serpents with tongues of fire, And of death by drowning, and of after death Of the day of judgment, wherein it seem'd That she, the heathen, was bidden higher, Higher than I, that I clung to her side, And clinging struggled, and struggling cried, And crying, waken'd, all weak of my breath.
