First Line: Face-down was I upon a sea
Last Line: Which rippled me to sleep.
Subject(s): Sea; Ocean
Face-down was I upon a sea,
And not a planet swung in space
Could mark a form that under me
Rose to my embrace.
What face I kissed, no moons disclose;
My eager lips drank in the deep,
And vast, mysterious limbs were those
Which rippled me to sleep.
