First Line: Quick as the waking laughter of a child

Subject(s): Dawn; Dusk; San Diego, California; Sunrise
Quick as the waking laughter of a child,
Sudden as windblown rain,
The sea-voice, murmuring in the gray of dawn,
Begins its long refrain:
Soft as the gentle sleeping of a child,
Light as a baby's rest,
The sea-voice hushes all its singing now
Against the night's dark breast.
