The Cranberry Pool

In the Pool at Cranberry,

Not a root or pointed tree,

Rocking dory, humped blue hill

But is doubled in the still

Unstirred water, clear as glass

With its fringe of bright green grass

Where the long-legged herons stare

At their dark shapes mirrored there,

And each sea gull sits at rest

On its white reflected breast.
