Twilight at Sea | Poem

 

Twilight at Sea
by Amelia B. Welby (1819-1852)

The twilight hours like birds flew by,
As lightly and as free;
Ten thousand stars were in the sky,
Ten thousand on the sea;
For every wave, with dimpled face,
That leaped upon the air,
Had caught a star in its embrace
And held it trembling there.
