A CLOUD FANCY by ARTHUR PETERSON

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.
