Nature
Wind and Wave
From An American Anthology, 1787–1900, ed. Edmund Clarence Stedman (1900)
Nature
O, when I hear at sea
The water on our lee,
I fancy that I hear the wind
That combs my hemlock tree:
But when beneath that tree
I listen eagerly,
I seem to hear the rushing wave
I heard far out at sea.
