They turned towards me
Startled
Sea-descending faces;
But I, not they,
Felt the pang of transience."/>

" Once I saw large waves
Crested with white-caps;
A driving wind
Transformed the caps
Into scudding spray.
"Swift souls," I addressed them—
They turned towards me
Startled
Sea-descending faces;
But I, not they,
Felt the pang of transience. "
