1646 Flying Fish

OUT where the sky and the sky-blue sea

Merge in a mist of sheen,

There started a vision of silver things,

A leap and a quiver, a flash of wings

The sky and the sea between.

Is it of birds from the blue above,

Or fish from the depths that be?

Or is it the ghosts

In silver hosts

Of birds that were drowned at sea?
