Lyonesse

A poem by Alan Seeger (1888-1916)

In Lyonesse was beauty enough, men say:

Long Summer loaded the orchards to excess,

And fertile lowlands lengthening far away,

In Lyonesse.

Came a term to that land’s old favoredness:

Past the sea-walls, crumbled in thundering spray,

Rolled the green waves, ravening, merciless.

Through bearded boughs immobile in cool decay,

Where sea-bloom covers corroding palaces,

The mermaid glides with a curious glance to-day,

In Lyonesse.
