First Line: The place is empty
Last Line: Over gray stone.
Subject(s): Seashore; Beach; Coast; Shore
The place is empty;
Far to right and left
Stretch the dun sands
And the baked cleft.
Only coarse grass
And the winds' chaff,
Sun-baked and dry;
Hear the harsh laugh
Of the white gull
Flying alone
Over the slate sea,
Over gray stone.
