Asleep
In a pool of shadow floating on the sand,
And cool to lean asleep in like a fish,
The boatman lies, shirt drawn away by earth
From the brown middle, hands under head, legs
Dreaming of death. And close to him as a weed
Is to a fish, his hat is sleeping too.
How intimate he is with the good earth! –
As if, long buried, he were still alive
Among the many other mounds of sand.
– Witter Bynner (1927)
