LONG ISLAND SOUND
me | V IND shakes compacted lilac from her sill, A shutter on the ground floor knocks and bangs. Down by the beach a rotten sail still hangs Under the boatshed eaves. All summers spill A something from their play of light and set Unease remembered. Only the dead forget. Unused yet as widow she lies down to count Six score of minutes from the active day And sees, tenderly scanted, the petals mount
Fret, aa scatter, and with the gales away.
