lunar paraphrase paraphrase
Schoodic Point, Acadia National Park
Always ancestry angels
Argonauts beaches birds
Bluebird body branches

cithara countless
darkness depending
down dreams
earlier end
fallen Feebly
figure flute friend
glowing golden guardian
hoar-frost
infinite light
Mary
 moon mother
moves near
November old opposite
over pallor passing
persuade picture pity

primitive quieting remain
rest rocky sailors
sang screaming
shape shelter
 shipwreck-free
shores story’s thighs
watches
wearier
