The poem describes a speaker who casts out "sad nets" towards his lover's "oceanic eyes" in the afternoon. As his solitude grows in the "highest blaze", he sends out "red signals" across her "absent eyes" that smell of the sea. Though she keeps only darkness, sometimes the coast of dread emerges from her gaze. The speaker flings his sad nets to the sea thrashed by her eyes as birds peck the first stars that flash like his soul when he loves her, and night gallops, shedding blue tassels over the land.

towards your oceanic eyes. There in the highest blaze my solitude lengthens and flames, its arms turning like a drowning man's. I send out red signals across your absent eyes that smell like the sea or the beach by a lighthouse. You keep only darkness, my distant female, from your regard sometimes the coast of dread emerges. Leaning into the afternoons I fling my sad nets to that sea that is thrashed by your oceanic eyes. The birds of night peck at the first stars that flash like my soul when I love you. The night gallops on its shadowy mare shedding blue tassels over the land.
