At low tide like this how sheer the water is<\/p>\n
like a poet hidden<\/p>\n
what a million filaments<\/p>\n
by shallow rivers to whose falls<\/p>\n
set thy own songs, and sing them to thy lute<\/p>\n
to fetch new lust and give it to you<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
all suddenly around his body wound<\/p>\n
like to that sanguine flower inscribed with woe<\/p>\n
the next, with dirges due, in sad array<\/p>\n
when I saw my mother’s head on the cold pillow<\/p>\n
oh, write no more the tale of Troy.<\/p>\n

At low tide like this how sheer the water is<\/p>\n

oh, write no more the tale of Troy<\/p>\n
by shallow rivers to whose falls<\/p>\n
that the uncertain and adulaterate fruit<\/p>\n
like a poet hidden<\/p>\n
all suddenly about his body wound<\/p>\n
Minever Cheevy, child of scorn<\/p>\n
