FLOAT GENTLY IN THE WAKE OF DOLPHINS

Had I King Neptune's golden net
Ashimmer with sterling and precious gold,
The blue, the turquoise, and the sunset
Of dusk, and dawn, and twilight,
I would wrap you in his deep
Safekeeping.
But I, loving land, have only this song.
I have wrapped you in the deep.
Float gently in the wake of dolphins.
