WHEN SEA-BIRDS WALK.
At sunrise, all tho sea-birds Upon tho beaches cruise, And fill tho air with foreign words Such as sea-folk use. They roll ashore in twos and threes And potter up and down Liko captains from the seven seas Meet in an English town; But only those who rise from bed In early morning weather Will ever know what things arc said When sea-birds walk together. —Oswald H. Harla-nd.
