Here is the bright green sea,
And, underneath, a thousand fishes
Moving their scaly bodies soundlessly
Among a bright green world of weeds.
These thousand pebbles are a thousand eyes
Each sharper than the sun;
These waves are dancers;
Upon a thousand, pointed toes
They step the sea,
Lightly, as in a pantomime.
