It Came With The Threat Of A Waning Moon Poem by William Ernest Henley
It Came With The Threat Of A Waning Moon
It came with the threat of a waning moon
And the wail of an ebbing tide,
But many a woman has lived for less,
And many a man has died;
For life upon life took hold and passed,
Strong in a fate set free,
Out of the deep into the dark
On for the years to be.
Between the gloom of a waning moon
And the song of an ebbing tide,
Chance upon chance of love and death
Took wing for the world so wide.
O, leaf out of leaf is the way of the land,
Wave out of wave of the sea
And who shall reckon what lives may live
In the life that we bade to be?
............a wonderful poem, I love this....this speaks to me of a passion ★
Looking at Nature observantly, the poet tries to seek the meaning of life
Wave out of wave of the sea And who shall reckon what lives may live In the life that we bade goodbye.
What beautiful rhyming, what profound philosophy! Unquestionably a master!

This poem was short but gave a clear view that not everyone believes the christian faith and just like the christian, they died for their faith. A faith centuries old. How can one say there is nothing to this faith!
