texts:	The Sea of Sunset   This is the land the sunset washes, These are the banks of the Yellow Sea; Where it rose, or whither it rushes, These are the western mystery!   Night after night her purple traffic Strews the landing with opal bales; Merchantmen poise upon the horizons, Dip, and vanish with fairy sails.	Wild Nights   Wild nights! Wild nights! Were I with thee, Wild nights should be Our luxury! Futile the winds To a heart in port, Done with the compass, Done with the chart, Rowing in Eden! Ah! the sea! Might I but moor To-night in thee!
