POETRY: A Mag a zine of Verse
ON THE BEACH AT FON'1AN A
Wind whines and whines the shingle, The crazy pier-stakes groan; A senile sea numbers each single Slime-silvered stone.
From whining wind and colder Grey sea I wrap him warm, And touch his fine-boned boyish shoulder And trembling arm.
Around us fear, descending, Darkness of fear above; And in my heart how sweet unending Ache of love.
ALONE
The moon's soft golden meshes make All night a veil; The shore-lamps in the sleeping lake Laburnum tendrils trail.
The sly reeds whisper in the night A name-her name, And all my soul is a delight, A swoon of shame.
[701
