[Gulls in an aëry morrice]
Gulls in an aëry morrice
Gleam and vanish and gleam . . .
The full sea, sleepily basking,
Dreams under skies of dream.
Gleam and vanish and gleam . . .
The full sea, sleepily basking,
Dreams under skies of dream.
Gulls in an aëry morrice
Circle and swoop and close . . .
Fuller and ever fuller
The rose of the morning blows.
Circle and swoop and close . . .
Fuller and ever fuller
The rose of the morning blows.
134
Gulls, in an aëry morrice
Frolicking, float and fade . . .
O, the way of a bird in the sunshine,
The way of a man with a maid!
Frolicking, float and fade . . .
O, the way of a bird in the sunshine,
The way of a man with a maid!
