Splendid fronds: unfurl
from the wild, agrestal earth
and, unfurling, hurl
murmuring responses to the dashing surf
Bending, and then, bending, swirl
your silver to the emerald turf;
Hie to the towering tide, uncurl
your beads along the dew-soaked hearth
beneath the swelling, adamantine pearl
that beams its voice along the weathering earth.
"murmuring responses to the dashing surf"
unfurling ferns
