SEA-GRASSES: PRELUDE by ARTHUR PETERSON

First Line: E'EN AS A VOYAGER / GATHERS SEA-GRASSES
Last Line: PLACED YOU IN ORDER.

1

E'en as a voyager
Gathers sea-grasses,
And in his album --
Sorting, arranging --
Places them, giving
Each spray its corner;

2

So ye song-florets,
Born of the ocean,
You have I gathered,
And on the pages
White of this booklet
Placed you in order.
