Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ... FORENOON BY THE PACIFIC The winds are far away; The sea alone hath speech. The killdees play In little hollows of the kelp-strewn beach. Beyond, a wisp of fog has come to rest Upon the mountain's breast. Here from a western steep I watch the sea-gull soar; Below, the deep Darts a white chord along the curving shore And brims the day with thunder. At my feet The unshaken dews are sweet. The hour is full of peace Too tenderly profound To fail or cease At any call of lark, or ocean-sound. Where lonely waters meet a loner sky The winds of morning die.

SAID THE WIND: I and my brothers are ocean-born, And the dusk-blue reaches were our home. Joyous, hardly old as the foam, There we ran on a crystal morn. North and south we swung in our play, Life and laugh of the world's unrest. I, deserting, fled to the west, Swift and strong on the path of the day. Day was victor in that mad flight--Gone with a step from the sea to land. There, like stars upcast on the strand, A city blazed on the fallen night. SAID THE WIND Thither drawn, I crept in its...
