Random Poem of the Day

1Between the grey monotony of sky
2     And darker grey monotony of sea
3A solitary seagull passes by,
4     Beating the air, and screaming plaintively.
5And even so -- between grey yesterdays,
6     Before your coming waked my dreaming heart,
7And darker grey to-morrows, when our ways
8     Must lie forever half a world apart --
9I take my way on wings that feebly beat
10     Against the adverse winds of circumstance,
11My heart, rebellious at this last defeat,
12     Screaming defiance at the gods of chance.
