Flowers by the Sea by William Carlos Williams

Flowers by the Sea

 
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
