Each wave so like the wave which came before,
   Yet never two the same! Imperative
      And then persuasive as the cooing dove.
Encroaching ever on the yielding shore--
   Ready to take, yet readier still to give--
      How like the myriad-minded sea is love.
                                                                 How Like the Sea.
