FLOWERS BY THE SEA - by William Carlos Williams




 FLOWERS  BY  THE  SEA  


by William Carlos Williams



When over the flowery, sharp pasture’s
edge, unseen, the salt ocean


lifts its form chicory and daisies
tied, released, seem hardly flowers alone


but color and the movement or the shape
perhaps of restlessness, whereas


the sea is circled and sways
peacefully upon its plantlike stem
