    The speaker reflects on the beauty and passion of nature and summer, from the colorful earth and singing birds to the love expressed and unexpressed. However, nature also contains bitterness as represented by the desolate and hungry sea, which moans with the pain of souls in its waves. Both the sob of life and dirge of death are felt in nature, leaving the speaker and another feeling alone on the shore, forever separated.

    THEN AND NO\V.

    H the beautiful breathing earth, Clad in purple and decked with gold, Oh the wealth of blossom ! the song of birds, The love that was told and untold!

    Oh the madness of Summer everywhere, In the still rapt sky and the wooing air, And we who were nothing, only a part Of the throbbing passionate mother-heart ! Oh the bitter desolate sea \iVild with hunger and waste with woe, Vv ailing the pain of speechless souls In its restless ebb and flow! Oh the sob of life! oh the dirge of death, That moaned in its voice, and breathed m its breath; And you and I, who stood by the shore Alone and apart for evermore ! Caris Brooke.
