Walking on the Western Edge: Ruby Beach

To a Seabirdby Francis Bret Harte

Sauntering hither on listless wings,

Careless vagabond of the sea,

Little thou heedest the surf that sings,

The bar that thunders, the shale that rings,

Give me to keep thy company.

Dragons aloft on the wind

And though I came to forget or regret all I have ever done, yet I would remember that once I saw the dragons aloft on the wind at sunset above the western isles; and I would be content.
