By Swaying Summer Seas

Swaying Summer Seas List! 'tis the long, low wave along the shore, The rustling murmur of the summer sea! The zephyr, lithe of wing, doth float before — And ocean voices speak mysteriously. Ah, harken to the cadence mild and free, The low, deep ripple of the summer sea! Hark! Now the joyous billows on the shore, The dancing laughter of the summer sea, Yon snowy breaker rising o'er and o'er In gleaming glory leapeth wild and free ; Ah, hark the surges call unceasingly The fulsome swaying of the summer sea! List to the winsome ripple on the shore, The breezy music of the summer sea; The strange, half tuneful, murmurings outpour Their all upon the strand refreshingly. The sky above is smiling dreamily; Ah, happy day beside the swaying sea! Minnie Iverson Hodapp
