FLOOD TIDE, by                    
First Line: Across a swirl of covered beach
Last Line: And sniffs the coming sea.
Subject(s): Seashore; Beach; Coast; Shore


Across a swirl of covered beach
Pale dories creep from mist.
The wavelets drip like far-off speech;
The winging sea-gulls twist.
My dog sits like a silken mound
And gently rubs my knee,
Lifts ears at all the width of sound
And sniffs the coming sea.
