Watching the Needleboats at San Sabba




Watching the Needleboats at San Sabba


(Trieste, 1912?) [1913]




I heard their young hearts crying



Loveward above the glancing oar



And heard the prairie grasses sighing:



No more, return no more!







O hearts, O sighing grasses,



Vainly your loveblown bannerets mourn!




No more will the wild wind that passes



Return, no more return.
