shall i part my hair behind? do i dare to eat a peach?
i shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.

i have seen them riding seaward on the waves
combing the white hair of the waves blown back
when the wind blows the water white and black.

by sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
till human voices wake us, and we drown.
