II.— ALONE

by (1893–1944)

Listen in the reader

The grey wind and the grey sea Tossing under the long grey sky.... My heart is lonelier than the wind; My heart is emptier than the sky, And beats more heavily Than the cold surge beneath the gull, Wheeling with his reiterant cry Of loneliness.... All, all is lone: alone; And so am I.
