| | From “Song Nets”
GREEN water of waves | |
| On the Bermuda beaches, | |
| White coral roads running away, | |
| Pink shells waiting for me to come, | |
| I shall come some day. | 5 |
| How would it sound to be there alone | |
| And hear the Atlantic Ocean | |
| Crash on bright rocks? | |
| |
| This island is a great rainbow | |
| That lasts forever; | 10 |
| People go and come | |
| And the waves forget them. | |
| I see the island turn and turn— | |
| A soap-bubble with rainbows drifting down, | |
| A rainbow ball turning … | 15 |
| Always light, always glitter looking through. | |
| My poem that began with a green wave | |
| Has broken into colors. | | | | |
