First Line: Scent of the wide, wet marshes
Last Line: Like a startled memory.
Subject(s): Swamps; Bogs; Fens; Marshes
Scent of the wide, wet marshes
And lisp of the lazy sea,
And a mouldering wreck mid the coarse green sedge
Looming dismally.
Scent of the dank, dark marshes
And boom of the lonely sea,
And a screaming sea-gull sweeping past
Like a startled memory.
