Night— A silver moonbeam on a golden strand. Black ocean— An ocean, undulating and black. A gray dawn. The souls of men— Some white, some gray, some black, All souls of men— Flitting about in the black darkness of the night. Humanity— Deep-rooted kindliness. A something snatching— Always snatching at the heart-strings, Snatching and appealing. Souls— Flitting thru the night. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FOR THE SAKE OF RETRIEVAL by LINDA BIERDS BEFORE THE MIRROR (VERSES WRITTEN UNDER A PICTURE) by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE FORMALITY AND THE SOUL: 1.
