The Sea at Night

Sunk is the sun beneath the sea,
    And now across the spray
Stealing as softly as can be
    In place of radiant day
Comes peaceful night; its silver lord,
    The shadow-spattered moon,
Orders the waves without a word
    To sparkle as at noon.
 
Frothy and light, the waves take heed
    And glisten as they go.
Each droplet, like a crystal bead,
    Into his beams they throw.
Yet, as they play and splash the light
    And never seem to cease,
All still and silent rests the world
    In undiminished peace.
