Wellington Harbour Silver as no metal Ever shone Does the full moon Fall upon Still water. With the touch Of shining wonder All dross of day Fades away And dies in sheer Enchantment. Enraptured now, Caressed, Kissed, Wind-fondled, The trembling bay Bares her beauty To the black sky, To the winking stars And the glowing moon. Cool-fingered light Probing the soft cloud Finds the virgin sea, Touches her In secret places. Thus the moon And the sea And the beauty without end. Beauty before I was, Beauty when I am not. I am less than an eyelid Flicked on the face of time. But I touch my love With warm hands And heart's glow That the moon can never give And the sea can never know. Harry Dansey
