    About The Book

    Half Roundel

    I make no prayer

    For the spoilt season,

    The weed of Eden.

    I make no prayer.

    Save us the green

    In the weed of time.

    Now is November;

    In night uneasy

    Nothing I say.

    I make no prayer.

    Save us from the water

    That washes us away.

    What do I ponder?

    All smiled disguise,

    Lights in cold places,

    I make no prayer.

    Save us from air

    That wears us loosely.

    The leaf of summer

    To cold has come

    In little time.

    I make no prayer.

    From earth deliver

    And the dark therein.

    Now is no whisper

    Through all the living.

    I speak to nothing.

    I make no prayer.

    Save us from fire

    Consuming up and down.

    Evening with Lee Shore and Cliffs

    Sea-shimmer, faint haze, and far out a bird

    Dipping for flies or fish. Then, when over

    That wide silk suddenly the shadow

    Spread skating, who turned with a shiver

    High in the rocks? And knew, then only, the waves’

    Layering patience: how they would follow after,

    After, dogged as sleep, to his inland

    Dreams, oh beyond the one lamb that cried

    In the olives, past the pines’ derision. And heard

    Behind him not the sea’s gaiety but its laughter.

    The Fishermen

    When you think how big their feet are in black rubber

    And it slippery underfoot always, it is clever

    How they thread and manage among the sprawled nets, lines,

    Hooks, spidery cages with small entrances.

    But they are used to it. We do not know their names.

    They know our needs, and live by them, lending them wiles

    And beguilements we could never have fashioned for them;

    They carry the ends of our hungers out to drop them

    To wait swaying in a dark place we could never have chosen.

    By motions we have never learned they feed us.

    We lay wreaths on the sea when it has drowned them.
