First Line: Now day / drawing his golden waters down the west
Last Line: From their too youthful wonder in the sea.
Subject(s): Moon; Sea; Stars; Ocean
Now day,
Drawing his golden waters down the west,
Forsakes the loitering, low-bosomed moon.
Naked amid the unaccustomed stars
She stands, afraid, then down the shining ebb
Hastens to hide her girlish loveliness
From their too youthful wonder in the sea.
