TO A NYMPH, by GERALD W. THOMSON
First Line: Just off our rented steps there is a pool
Last Line: Of lawn -- a towel green he thought was grown for him.

First Line: Just off our rented steps there is a pool

Subject(s): Lakes; Pools; Ponds
Just off our rented steps there is a pool
which makes a summer's sunset hour cool.
Long after we have moved -- to God knows where --
I'll hear dogs lapping water there,
and see again that mottled beast
who used this tub the least.
No Erskine Goddess stepped ashore
wreathed in flowers lovelier
than he, to wipe his chin upon the brim
of lawn -- a towel green he thought was grown for him.
