Title: Kenotaphion
Author: Charles Hamilton Musgrove [ More Titles by Musgrove]
O wanderer! whoever thou mayest be, I beg of thee to pass in silence here And leave me with my empty sepulchre Beside the ceaseless turmoil of the sea; Pass me as one whom life's old tragedy Hath made distraught--who now in dreams doth keep His cherished dead, unmindful of her sleep In ocean's bosom locked eternally! Scorn not the foolish grave that I have made Beside the deep sea of my soul's unrest, But let me hope that when the storms are stayed My phantom ship shall sail from out the west Bringing the boon for which I long have prayed-- The broken vigil and the ended quest.
[The end] Charles Hamilton Musgrove's poem: Kenotaphion ________________________________________________
