Tears! tears! tears!

Tears! tears! tears!
In the night, in solitude, tears,
On the white shore dripping, dripping, suck'd in by the sand,
Tears, not a star shining, all dark and desolate,
Moist tears from the eyes of a muffled head;
O who is that ghost? that form in the dark, with tears?
What shapeless lump is that, bent, crouch'd there on the sand?
Streaming tears, sobbing tears, throes, choked with wild cries;
O storm, embodied, rising, careering with swift steps along the beach!
O wild and dismal night storm, with wind - O belching and desperate!
O shade so sedate and decorous by day, with calm countenance and regulated pace,
But away at night as you fly, none looking - O then the unloosen'd ocean,
Of tears! tears! tears!

A Tear

I
Know of beauty
That no one has ever Known.

How could that be possible
When I may seem
So new in infinite time?

It is because God belongs only to you!

Did you hear that?
Did you hear what i just said?

God belongs only to you!

It is the only reasonable payment
For a single.Tear.
