I saw among the rocks on my right hand,

Lying, face downward, over a deep rock-pool,

A youth, so still that, till a herring-gull swooped

And sheered away from him with a startled cry

And a wild flutter of its brown mottled wings,

I had not seen him.

Quietly we drew near,

As shadows may, unseen.

He pored intent

Upon a sea-anemone, like a flower
