She still stands there and waits for his ship to come in,  
pass its way through the straits so their life can begin.  
Tides keep falling and rising each day without fail,  
but the barren horizon will not yield a sail,  
nor a bow or a stern. On the cold, rocky shore,  
she awaits his return. He had always, before.
