Nevertheless the ebb has a beauty of its own

The wave withdrawing
withers with seaward rustle of flimsy water
sucking the sand down, dragging at empty shells
The roil after it settling, too smooth, smothered.

After forty a man's a fool to stand in the face of the
Sea and wait for the full force and roaring of
Surf to come over him: droves of careening water
After forty the tug's out and the salt and the
sea follow it: less sound and violence
Nevertheless the ebb has a beauty of its own
Shells sand and all the whispering rustle
There's earth in it and then the bubbles of foam gone.

Moreover -- and this too has its lovely uses
it's the outward wave that spills the inward forward
Tripping the proud piled mute virginal mountain of water in wallowing welter of light and
Sound enough -- thunder for miles back. It's a fine and a
wild smother to vanish in: Pulling down
Tripping with outward ebb the urgent inward.

Speaking alone for myself it's the steep hill and the toppling
lift of the young men I am toward now
waiting for that as the wave for the nest wave
Let them go over us all I say with the thunder of
what's to be next in the world!: it's we will be under it.
