    Alone I walked on the ocean strand,
    A pearly shell was in my hand;
    I stooped, and wrote upon the sand
    My name, the year, the day.
    As onward from the sport I passed,
    One lingering look behind I cast,
    A wave came rolling high and fast,
    And washed my lines away.

And laid my hand upon thy mane--as I do here.

And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,
And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here
