Paint me a poem in dull gold
Just as the sky was then --
A black boat, and in it, barelegged,
Two fishermen.
Shining and soundless the trawling
Of their lines in the quiet bay;
And the day burning dim behind its veils
Of gauze gray.
Give no moon, gibbous and bloody,
Nor sun with a brazen glare,
But that dawn, and those mist-covered figures,
And peace there.
