But sea and mountains
are all alike
And once again

urges Me on to dare the wave
that calls out to Me
The impulse of my heart
presses Me again
to visit once more
soMe new lands
and set in search of the Wholly Other
start on yet another voyage
across more distant seas ...

Darkling I listen; and, for many a tiMe
I have been half in love with easeful Death,
Call'd him soft naMes in many a musèd rhyMe,
To take into the air my quiet breath;
Now more than ever seems it rich to die,
To cease upon the midnight with no pain
