Subject(s): Sea; Women; Ocean
Pale arrowy lights were in her eyes,
Griselda of the Seas:
I saw her in a boat one night,
Her hair blown by the breeze.
A sheenful moon shot glory round,
Its glamour rayed her face,
She was illumined like some rare sight,
Immortal in her grace.
I gazed on her with tremulous heart
Until those eyes met mine,
A mystic smile rebuked my fear:
Was I like her divine?
