The Last Port

Frank Wilmot 1881 (Collingwood) – 1942



I WROUGHT and battled and wept, near and afar  
I scanned the secret of the bud and star.  
 
Hill-road and desert, and the hurrying street  
Know well the impress of my restless feet!  
 
Then some one came with soft, caressing glance,          
Slow, like a woman out of all romance.  
 
Love closed around me these warm, folded wings—  
That was the end of all my wanderings.
