A little wave mermaid Dashed up the ship's prow, Dived with a gay bow Back to the sea Swirling her froth dress, White beaded necklace, Tossing her foam tress, Laughed up at me. Little blue mermaid Slipped by the ship's side, Rocked on the wave-tide, Fell far a-stern. Sang in the sunshine, Flung back the white brine Lost in a froth line, -- Like a white fern. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FLOWER GUIDANCE by ROBERT FROST DREAM LIFE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE LIVING DEAD by RALPH CHAPLIN AS THE TEAM'S HEAD BRASS by PHILIP EDWARD THOMAS SONNET TO LIBERTY by OSCAR WILDE |
