O Shadows of Moving Waters
Alice Corbin
1881 to 1949
O shadows of moving waters,
O waves that are never at rest,
I have seen the pale moon's driven horses
That hurry away to the west;
I have been in the midst of your forces,
On the white driven foam of your breast,
And the dream of your changing faces
Keeps me from peace and from rest.
