BY THE SEA


Along the shore there brcathcs the ancient sigh
That murmurcd at the earth's primeva dawn
The little shells, fair perfection's pride.
Remain to speak the tides forgotten pawn.
The marshes spread royal tapestry
Of gold and russet wrought amidst the green,
The far horizon shimmers in the SUM-
Across the wave no yelling shadows lean.
The fishing boats within the harbor lie
AS dreaming softly where they idly sway
AS dreaming like pcnsive seaman shall
Of other shores within another day.
And quietude is the sloping dunes,
Tranquility upon the vastly sea;
And sunset wiclds matchess artistry
Where none may see except the gulls and me.
-Maudc De Verse Newton.

run of last lines submitted on
