And another path led me here:
SEA LOVE Charlotte Mew
Tide be runnin' the great world over: 'Twas only last June month I mind that we Was thinkin' the toss and the call in the breast of the lover So everlastin' as the sea.
Heer's the same little fishes that sputter and swim: Wi' the moon's old glim on the grey, wet sand; An' him no more to me nor me to him Than the wind goin' over my hand.
From Collected Poems by Charlotte Mew (London: Gerald Duckworth, 1953)
