Fish |
| It was the dark of dawn as we went there |
| There was chill of bone and brisk of air |
| And the pale glow of the sun |
| Pulled us, in all speed, to come |
| From the boat we heard that lonely call |
| That carries wide and silences all |
| There I sat with oar in hand |
| As half of me fell away into sand |
| Then freely and stealthily |
| A great green moving muscle sleek |
| Took hold the line and dove deep |
| Down |
| And I pulled |
| And what I saw I’d never seen |
| What came to light the glowing green |
| Heaving, breathing light |
| I looked into its eye |
| And suddenly as quick it came |
| A flash, a gleam, a hungry dream |
| The line went slack and we turned back |
| To the shelter of the darkened pines |
