A Grave By The Sea

I, shipwrecked Theris, whom the tide Flung landward from the deep, Not even dead may I forget The shores that know not sleep. Beneath the cliffs that break the surf My body found a grave, Dug by the hands of stranger men, Beside the cruel wave: And still ill-starred among the dead I hear for evermore The hateful booming of the seas That thunder on the shore.
