Shore grass

The moon is cold over the sand dunes
And the clumps of sea grasses flow and glitter.
The thin chime of my watch tells
the quarter after midnight
And still I hear
Nothing but the windy beating of the sea.

by Amy Lowell (1874-1925) , "Shore grass", from Pictures of the Floating World, published 1919
