Thought For A Sunshiny Morning
July 5, 2023The Leal
July 5, 2023The Sea
Who lay against the sea, and fled,
Who lightly loved the wave,
Shall never know, when he is dead,
A cool and murmurous grave.
But in a shallow pit shall rest
For all eternity,
And bear the earth upon the breas
That once had worn the sea.
Dorothy Parker
