sea lullaby
elinor wylie
the old moon is tarnished
with smoke of the flood,
the dead leaves are varnished
with color like blood,
a treacherous smiler 5
with teeth white as milk,
a savage beguiler
in sheathings of silk,
the sea creeps to pillage,
she leaps on her prey; 10
a child of the village
was murdered to-day.
she came up to meet him
in a smooth golden cloak,
she choked him and beat him 15
to death, for a joke.
her bright locks were tangled,
she shouted for joy,
with one hand she strangled
a strong little boy. 20
now in silence she lingers
beside him all night
to wash her long fingers
in silvery light.
