A MOTHER TO THE SEA.
Reading edition
You are blue, you are blue like the sky, Cruel and cold and blue, And I turn from you, voiceless sea, To a sky that is voiceless, too. Upward the vast blue arch, Downward the blue abyss, With a line of foam where your lips Meet in a passionless kiss. But the silence is breaking my heart, And tears cannot comfort me With God in His cold blue sky, And my boy in the cold blue sea.
