MARSH SONG--AT SUNSET

by: Sidney Lanier (1842-1881)

      VER the monstrous shambling sea,
      Over the Caliban sea,
      Bright Ariel-cloud, thou lingerest:
      Oh wait, oh wait, in the warm red West,--
      Thy Prospero I'll be.
       
      Over the humped and fishy sea,
      Over the Caliban sea,
      O cloud in the West, like a thought in the heart
      Of pardon, loose thy wing and start,
      And do a grace for me.
       
      Over the huge and huddling sea,
      Over the Caliban sea,
      Bring hither my brother Antonio,--Man,--
      My injurer: night breaks the ban;
      Brother, I pardon thee.
