Sea-change

Genevieve Taggard

From “The Way Things Go”

YOU are no more, but sunken in a sea

Sheer into dream ten thousand leagues you fell;

And now you lie green-golden, while a bell

Swings with the tide, my heart. And all is well

Till I look down, and, wavering, the spell—

Your loveliness—returns. There in the sea,

Where you lie amber-pale and coral-cool,

You are most loved, most lost, most beautiful.
