BESIDE THE SEA, by RUTH L. DROWNS
First Line: Down by the seaside let me stay
Last Line: For brief digression.
Subject(s): Sea; Ocean

Down by the seaside let me stay
Where gray gulls circle round the bay,
Graceful -- like pleasure craft at sea;
Marshgrass dancing in rhythmic glee;
Nature abounding
In endless expression.
Waves sing in swaying trees
For brief digression.
