Contrast.

Wild waves, curving and crashing—
Wild winds, roaring and rushing
In furious frenzy—
A maddening medley—
A ceaseless struggle of striving and stress.

Soft seas, glowing and glinting—
Sofl skies, paling and tinting—
In shadowy beauty—
A gathering glory—
The mystic magic of Nature's caress.
