You Tides With Ceaseless Swell.

Part of the cluster FANCIES AT NAVESINK.

YOU TIDES WITH CEASELESS SWELL.

You tides with ceaseless swell! you power that does this work! You unseen force, centripetal, centrifugal, through space's  
 spread,
Rapport of sun, moon, earth, and all the constellations, What are the messages by you from distant stars to us? what  
 Sirius'? what Capella's?
What central heart—and you the pulse—vivifies all? what  
 boundless aggregate of all?
What subtle indirection and significance in you? what clue to  
 all in you? what fluid, vast identity,
Holding the universe with all its parts as one—as sailing in a ship?
