Pebbles and Shells (Hawkes collection)/The Desert
THE DESERT
Boundless, changeless, and cruel as the sea,
With brazen skies and suffocating air,
With burning rocks and sand, and blinding glare,
And silent ether, heavy with despair,
Stretching away e'en to infinity.
With brazen skies and suffocating air,
With burning rocks and sand, and blinding glare,
And silent ether, heavy with despair,
Stretching away e'en to infinity.
