A Picture
The sun burns fiercely down the skies; The sea is full of flashing eyes; The waves glide shoreward serpentwise And fawn with foamy tongues on stark Gray rocks, each sharp-toothed as a shark, And hiss in clefts and channels dark. Blood-purple soon the waters grow, As though drowned sea-kings fought below Forgotten fights of long ago. The gray owl Dusk its wings has spread; The sun sinks in a blossom-bed Of poppy-clouds; the day is dead.
