Edna St. Vincent Millay · Early Poems

Poem 28 of 141 · Second April

Eel-Grass

— ✻ —

No matter what I say,
All that I really love
Is the rain that flattens on the bay,
And the eel-grass in the cove;
The jingle-shells that lie and bleach
At the tide-line, and the trace
Of higher tides along the beach:
Nothing in this place.
