GRAY WATERS At Isle au Haut
Reading edition
Take me to some isle upon the sea! Bear me on wing of bird or keel of ship Out where gray waters slip About some isle upon the sea,— Upon the sea! Lay me within some caverned rock Whose bosom, hard from all the years, Knows nothing of men’s tears,— Gray peaceful rest beside the sea, Beside the sea! Take me to some isle upon the sea! Bear me on wing of bird or keel of ship Out where gray waters slip About some isle upon the sea! Upon the sea!
