The Winter Sea - Dusk

Dusk at Sea by Thomas S. Jones, Jr.

-

To-night eternity alone is near:

The sea, the sunset, and the darkening blue;

Within their shelter is no space for fear,

Only the wonder that such things are true.

The thought of you is like the dusk at sea —

Space and wide freedom and old shores left far,

The shelter of a lone immensity

Sealed by the sunset and the evening star.
