Poets ’ Corner

SHORE-SONG Flame-green, lifted water, Rimmed with dazzling light: A seagull swoops, enraptured, Swift-pausing in its Bight. (Among the sands and lupin. And stiff, proud marram-grass, The sea-born winds are dying, The wind-blown foam-drifts pass). Placid, sullei. water. With curling edges white. Ravish my eyes with beauty! Rivet my soul with might. (Among the sands and lupin. And stiff proud marram-grass, Th sea-born winds are dying. The wind-blown foam-drifts pass). F. A. STEVENS. Wanganui. MOTHERHOOD I have tried to measure your love — Poor fool, I! 1 found myself like a sailor man . hat sails his clipper from span tc span. Below the line and above, Finding a rim beyond a rim, B * even footing the pole-ice dim. No end t all to the sky. EILEEN DUGGAN. Wellington.
