Wonderful sweet traditions of true hearts and love. A well deserved classic poem of the day.

That coast for ever, where the billow's roar Moaneth for pity in the Poet's ear; By Hero's faith, and the foreboding tear /// by the heroic faith of inner self the world can be conquered /// great poem penned

'Moaneth for pity in the Poet's ear; ' - loved this line. Beautiful! Congratulations on the poem's selection as the 'Poem of the Day'.

Leander, in Greek mythology, would swim across a sea every night to be with his lover Hero. Hero would light a lamp at the top of a tower to guide Leander. One stormy night Leander drowned and Hero, in despair, threw herself from the tower. I like the personification of the ocean; the billows and the coast, the loud waves moaneth for the lost lovers.

Hero's faith! ! ! ! Traditions and cultures. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

Hi there poet, I enjoyed your searching poem. Loyd, the simple poet.
