Miniature
My ivory’s a summer day, Soft clouds wash white across the blue Repeated in the bay below, Touched in with wisps of spray. And on this background, rimmed,Are flashing wavelets gayly limned,
Escalloping the shore, To middle distance, where by mound Of shining, high-flung sand is found My subject— To the fore, Two children, golden babes at play, A boy and girl of Dresden hue With hair to match the sand, and eyes y:, Another note of blue. Their legs, are rosy in the sun And rhythmically run In rosy light, suffusing round The pearly tints of pale foreground, Where daintily a green toy spills Its load of seaweed and of shells. —Margaret Lloyd.
