Poem by William Ernest Henley

Echoes. 27. She Sauntered by the Swinging Seas

She sauntered by the swinging seas,
   A jewel glittered at her ear,
And, teasing her along, the breeze
   Brought many a rounded grace more near.

So passing, one with wave and beam,
   She left for memory to caress
A laughing thought, a golden gleam,
   A hint of hidden loveliness.

1. Rhymes and Rhythms. 10. Midsummer Midnight Skies
2. Echoes. 30. Kate-a-Whimsies, John-a-Dreams
3. Echoes. 14. The Wan Sun Westers, Faint and Slow
4. Echoes. 20. The Surges Gushed and Sounded
5. Rhymes and Rhythms. 23. Here They Trysted, Here They Strayed
