Classic Poem

Dwight Tryon can depict an ocean scene
With touch that's tender and with sight serene.
The colours' easy and seductive flow
Still glads his canvas when the breezes blow
From off the frolic seas, and tides run deep
And waves are flecked of foam, and surges sweep
The yellow sands, and the translucent green
Of laughing water sheds the mellowed sheen
Of golden rays that kiss the shining sea,
As tumbling ocean, turbulent and free,
Beats with the jocund stir of light and life,
And all the Winds are out, and joy is rife.
