High Tide Poem by Jan Struther

High Tide



THIS knowledge at least is spared us: we cannot tell
When any given tide on the heart's shore
Comes to the full.
The crown-wave makes no signal, does not cry-
'This is the highest. Mark it with a bright shell.
It will be reached no more.'

Few could endure
That knowledge, and not die.
It is better to be unsure.
