| THE BAY is set with ashy sails, | |
| With purple shades that fade and flee, | |
| And curling by in silver wales | |
| The tide is straining from the sea. | |
| |
| The grassy points are slowly drowned, | 5 |
| The water laps and overrolls | |
| The wicker pêche; with shallow sound | |
| A light wave labors on the shoals. | |
| |
| The crows are feeding in the foam, | |
| They rise in crowds tumultuously, | 10 |
| “Come home,” they cry, “come home,—come home, | |
| And leave the marshes to the sea.” | |
