Emerald, the rim of the sea;
Purple sentinels, the hills;
The breeze half-dead or dying:
It is a song without singing.
The sun, the sweeper of the sky,
Washes it with the white of day;
For the moon, later, to paint
Her portrait of light and shade.
No sun-washed heaven that tells not of the moon;
No moon that doth not limn
Her frail, faery dream
On the sea's fluctuating rim.
