The Herring Weir (Charles G. D. Roberts Poems)

   Back to the green deeps of the outer bay      The red and amber currents glide and cringe,      Diminishing behind a luminous fringe    Of cream-white surf and wandering wraiths of spray.    Stealthily, in the old reluctant way,      The red flats are uncovered, mile on mile,      To glitter in the sun a golden while.    Far down the flats, a phantom sharply grey,    The herring weir emerges, quick with spoil.     Slowly the tide forsakes it. Then draws near,     Descending from the farm-house on the height,   A cart, with gaping tubs. The oxen toil     Sombrely o'er the level to the weir,     And drag a long black trail across the light.(Charles G. D. Roberts)
