If there is any European water where I long to be,

It is a dark cold pool where a sad child might play

Launching into the scented twilight, upon an imagined sea

A paper boat as fragile as the butterflies of May.

Bathed by your caresses, O waves, I can no longer rise

To follow in the wake of cotton-clippers sailing home,

Nor chase the coloured pennants which decorate the skies

Nor leave behind the lightships’ baleful glare, the seas to roam.
