Alternate Author Name(s): Macleod, Fiona
Subject(s): Sea; Sky; Tides; Ocean
A long low gurgle down the strand;
The sputtering of the drying wrack!
The tide is slowly ebbing back
With listless murmuring from the land,
And the small waves reluctant flow
Where the broad-bosomed currents go.
The sea has fall'n asleep, and lies
Dense blue beneath the dense blue skies.
