ASCENDING AND DESCENDING
Among the tide-pools, when the tender shineOf sunset lit them, whilst a ruffling breeze
Freshened the currents from unrolling seas,
Till the clogged weeds that wave-forsaken pine
Were fanned to plumy forests, coralline
Spread its pink branches, and among the trees,
Clusters of daisy-flowered anemones
Were roused by plashing ripples to untwine
Their starry fingers. In a little space
Apart, a tiny sea-bloom I espied,
With tranquil tentacles that did not cease
To undulate: and I, meseemed, could trace
The way from that dim pleasure to the peace
Of Isaac musing in the eventide.
