On the Beach at Fontana by James Joyce

On the Beach at Fontana 
by James Joyce


Wind whines and whines the shingle,

The crazy pierstakes groan;

A senile sea numbers each single

Slimesilvered stone.


From whining wind and colder

Grey sea I wrap him warm

And touch his trembling fineboned shoulder

And boyish arm.


Around us fear, descending

Darkness of fear above

And in my heart how deep unending

Ache of love!
