Sea-ward, white gleaming thro' the busy scud (fragment)

Samuel Taylor Coleridge 1772 (Ottery St Mary) – 1834 (Highgate)

Sea-ward, white gleaming thro' the busy scud
   With arching Wings, the sea-mew o'er my head
   Posts on, as bent on speed, now passaging
   Edges the stiffer Breeze, now, yielding, drifts,
   Now floats upon the air, and sends from far
   A wildly-wailing Note.
