First Line: Three lines of breakers, swift and high
Last Line: Is the beach they break upon.
Subject(s): Clouds
Three lines of breakers, swift and high,
Shaped out of yellow cloud,
Are curving in the western sky,
But I hear no surf-beat loud.
I see the misty foam they toss
Pinked by the setting sun,
That long cloud stretching bright across,
Is the beach they break upon.
