In the inlet the flat water
streams with perfect light
and the hues of late day
bring their pleasure to the scene;
while all around the gulls soar
on the warm afternoon currents,
and the children play and
laugh in the sand,
and boats drift in the gentle breeze,
as the sun heads to the sea
to hide its face and with that
the coming of the still night
and the eye of the moon
in soft misty display.
