ON A CLEAN BOOK, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Like sea-washed sand upon the shore
Last Line: To give us such alway.


TO F. N.

LIKE sea-washed sand upon the shore,
So fine and clean the tale,
So clear and bright I almost see,
The flashing of a sail.

The tang of salt is in its veins,
The freshness of the spray
God give you love and lore and strength,
To give us such alway.
