*

                                                    Slowly wading into deep water

                                                    Now the cool fingers hold me

                                                    And the green salt roaring fills my body

                                                    And my mind.

                                                    So I leave my country; yet

                                                    In earth and air and water burns the flame

                                                    Of grief and joy and longing: Love and Sorrow, shall we let

                                                    The Sea reclaim?
