Anthology of Modern Slavonic Literature in Prose and Verse/Dalmatian Nocturne
DALMATIAN NOCTURNE.
Sea bluely gleaming,
Dreaming;
Chill darkness earthward falls.
The last red glimmer
Dimmer
O'er blackened ridges crawls.
And chimes are droning,
Moaning,
Trembling where rocks arise;
Prayers have ascended,
Blended
With poor men's long-drawn sighs.
Before God’s altar
Falter
This haggard wailing brood.
But ne'er is token
Spoken
By God upon His rood.
And dreams are nearer,
Clearer:
Chill darkness earthward falls.
The last red glimmer
Dimmer
O'er blackened ridges crawls.
