SUGGESTIONS by CHARLES WHARTON STORK

First Line: SCENT OF THE WIDE, WET MARSHES
Last Line: LIKE A STARTLED MEMORY.
Subject(s): SWAMPS; BOGS; FENS; MARSHES;

Scent of the wide, wet marshes
And lisp of the lazy sea,
And a mouldering wreck mid the coarse green sedge
Looming dismally.

Scent of the dank, dark marshes
And boom of the lonely sea,
And a screaming sea-gull sweeping past
Like a startled memory.
