First Line: Long lay this loma isle; from age to age
Last Line: A lovely thought that time had put aside.
Subject(s): Point Loma, California
Long lay this Loma isle; from age to age
A lift of little hills turned from the West
Where Ocean Beach finds sea-way; with high crest
Of bordered canyons where the small white sage
Went pouring honey cups in vassalage
To ancient springs forever. She was dressed
In wilding ferns, pinks, lilies . . . on her breast
Lay poppy gold, a sun-wrought heritage.
A murmuring of bees perhaps; perhaps the whirr
And rise of tufted quail. I know the tide
Beneath ten million moons ran here, ran there,
While Loma waited like a waiting bride
As lonely and as lost, as if she were
A lovely thought that Time had put aside.
