Nature
XI
From The Poetical Works of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Volume 1
Nature
And darkening in the dark he strove
'Twixt earth and sea and sky
To lose in shadow, wave and cloud,
His brother's haunting cry:
The winds were welcome as they swept,
God's five-day work he would accept,
But let the rest go by.
