First Line: Fading light on a lonely beach
Last Line: And frets the silted sand.
Subject(s): Islands; Sea; Seashore; Ocean; Beach; Coast; Shore
FADING light on a lonely beach,
A slow out-creeping tide
That leaves to me on sea-etched sands
The ocean's cryptic speech.
Adown the ever broadening strand
Moon-witched waters steal,
And over the dunes a wild wind swoops
And frets the silted sand.
