_October 19, 1875. _ [Footnote 1: Oliver Madox Brown died November 5, 1874, in histwentieth year. ] EX-VOTO When their last hour shall risePale on these mortal eyes, Herself like one that dies, And kiss me dyingThe cold last kiss, and foldClose round my limbs her coldSoft shade as raiment rolled And leave them lying, If aught my soul would sayMight move to hear me prayThe birth-god of my day That he might hearken, This grace my heart should crave, To find no landward graveThat worldly springs m...ake brave, World's winters darken, Nor grow through gradual hoursThe cold blind seed of flowersMade by new beams and showers From limbs that moulder, Nor take my part with earth, But find for death's new birthA bed of larger girth, More chaste and colder.
Not earth's for spring and fall, Not earth's at heart, not allEarth's making, though men call Earth only mother, Not hers at heart she bareMe, but thy child, O fairSea, and thy brother's care, The wind thy brother.
Yours was I born, and ye, The sea-wind and the sea, Made all my soul in me A song for ever, A harp to string and smiteFor love's sake of the brightWind and the sea's delight, To fail them never: Not while on this side deathI hear what either saithAnd drink of either's breath With heart's thanksgivingThat in my veins like wineSome sharp salt blood of thine, Some springtide pulse of brine, Yet leaps up living.
