Yeppoon

oil on canvas 40x30cm

The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls

    THE tide rises, the tide falls,
    The twilight darkens, the curlew calls;
    Along the sea-sands damp and brown
    The traveller hastens toward the town
    And the tide rises, the tide falls.

    Darkness settles on the roofs and walls
    But the sea, the sea in darkness calls;
    The little waves, with their soft, white hands,
    Efface the footprints in the sands
    And the tide rises, the tide falls.

    The morning breaks; the steeds in their stalls
    Stamp and neigh, as the hostler calls;
    The day returns, but nevermore
    Returns the traveller to the shore,
    And the tide rises, the tide falls.

    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
