Nahant

Bowed as an elm under the weight of its beauty, So earth is bowed, under her weight of splendor¹, Molten sea, richness of leaves and the burnished² Bronze of sea-grasses.

Clefts³ in the cliff shelter the purple sand-peas And chicory flowers bluer than the ocean Flinging its foam⁴ high, white fire in sunshine, Jewels of water.

Joyous⁵ thunder of blown waves on the ledges⁶, Make me forget war and the dark war-sorrow —— Against the sky a sentry⁷ paces the sea-cliff Slim in his khaki.
