I shall go back again to the bleak shore br And build a little shanty on the sand br In such a way that the extremest band br Of brittle seaweed shall escape my door br But by a yard or two; and nevermore br Shall I return to take you by the hand. br I shall be gone to what I understand, br And happier than I ever was before. br The love that stood a moment in your eyes, br The words that lay a moment on your tongue, br Are one with all that in a moment dies, br A little under-said and over-sung. br But I shall find the sullen rocks and skies br Unchanged from what they were when I was young.
