‘I Saw From the Beach’ by Thomas Moore is a thoughtful poem. It considers the soul and passion and how the two things change over time as one ages.
I saw from the beach, when the morning was shining,
A bark o’er the waters move gloriously on;
I came when the sun o’er that beach was declining,
The bark was still there, but the waters were gone.
‘Thee, Thee, Only Thee’ by Thomas Moore describes the state of a speaker’s life as he uncontrollably obsesses over a woman he loves.
