VI
THE sea is silent round this rocky shore; The forest wind From the loud level beach behind Brings rolling up the distant water's roar.
Silent the wheeling sea-gull in the air, Without a cry; Far off beneath the bending sky A silent ship goes down the ocean stair.
The sea is blue, the sky is white with cloud, The land is white; The seaward rocks are shining bright, Enwrapped in a white, salt, and icy shroud.
The weeds and bushes bare above the snow, Against the sun Hold up brave stems, and many a one Has February bits of bud to show.
Where roses grew in one wild garden-close I pulled away A pair of rose-hips for to-day; Memorial to the mistress of the rose.
