There is no magic any more,
We meet as other people do,
You work no miracle for me
Nor I for you.
[[code]]
You were the wind and I the sea—
[[code]]
There is no splendor any more,
I have grown listless as the pool
Beside the shore.
[[code]]
But though the pool is safe from storm
[[code]]
And from the tide has found surcease,
It grows more bitter than the sea,
For all its peace.
The diction and the details develop a bitter and sad tone in this poem. The poet writes about how she was the sea and her love was the wind and now the sea is “listless.” Listless means: “having or showing little or no interest in anything; languid; spiritless; indifferent: a listless mood; a listless hands.” There is no splendor means that there is no love and no fun.
