THE DANCERS, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Neath a thorn as white as snow
Last Line: Dance, above the dancing sea.


'Neath a thorn as white as snow,
High above the peacock sea,
Hither, thither, to and fro,
Merrily the grey rats go:
To the song of ebb and flow
Moving as to melody.

Over gnarled roots, high and low,
Twisting, frisking fearlessly,
Six young hearts that needs must know,
When the ragged thorn's in blow,
Spring, and Spring's desire, and so
Dance, above the dancing sea.
