Religion
A Shrine by the Sea
Translated by Rennell Rodd (1916) · From Love, Worship and Death (1916)
Religion
This is the Cyprian's holy ground,
Who ever loves to stand
Where she can watch the shining seas
Beyond the utmost land;
That sailors on their voyages
May prosper by her aid,
Whose radiant effigy the deep
Beholding is afraid.
