Sometime At Eve
Sometime at eve when the tide is low,
I shall slip my moorings and sail away,
with no response to the friendly hail
of kindred craft in the busy bay.

In the silent hush of the twilight pale,
when the night swoops down to embrace the day,
where the voices call and the rivers flow,
sometime at eve when the tide is low,
I shall slip my moorings and sail away.

Through the purpling shadows that darkly trail
O'er the ebbing tide of the Unknown Sea,
I shall fare me away, with a dip of sail,
and ripple of waters to tell the tale
of a lonely voyager, sailing away
to the Mystic Isles where at anchor lay
the crafts of those who have sailed before
O'er the Unknown Sea to the Unseen Shore.

A few who have watched me sail away
will miss my craft from the busy bay.
Some friendly barks that were anchored near,
some loving souls that my heart held dear,
in silent sorrow will drop a tear-

But I shall have peacefully furled my sail
in the moorings sheltered from storm and gale,
and greeted friends who have sailed before,
O'er the Unknown Sea to the Unseen Shore.

Elizabeth Clark Hardy
