Water of sea-green, Lift up your white fingers of sea-foam And cast this broken mast upon the shore. It was once, you know, One of a fleet that made A dense forest upon your watery hills. And now in tenderness, You cast it upon the rocky shores It one time knew in its lost youth. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FOR THE NEW YEAR by EDWIN MARKHAM SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: REV.
