Reverie: The Orchard on the Slope

Thin ridges of land unploughed
  Along the tree-rows
  Covered with long cream grasses
  Wind-torn.
  Brown sand between them,
  Blue boughs above.

. . . . .
  Row and row of waves ever
  In the breaking;
  Ever in arching and convulsed
 Imminence;
 Roll of muddy sea between;
 Low clouds down-pressing
 And pallid and streaming rain.
