The Shadow by the seashore.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)



The shadow  by the seashore!

Huge, cloudy symbols of romance, and you in your nice silk gown with all the lace. They're all shadows in your hand that I have to chase. I can feel you in the hour; you look so fine. But I can never look upon you; you're always on my mind. All I can see is an unreflecting love that's in my dreams. From all of the shores of this wide world, you stand, and you're all alone. There is no one to hold your hand. Then you sink back into the sand.
