The Mermaid's Purse
The Mermaid's Purse | Ted Hughes
1 post | 1 to read
A collection of children's poems by the late Poet Laureate. All of them are about the sea and some of the characters who live in and around it: a bashful mussel, a boastful limpet, a thieving sandflea, an orphaned seal.

The Mermaid's Purse | Ted Hughes

The Shell

The sea fills my ear
with sand and with fear.

You may wash out the sand,
but never the sound
of the ghost of the sea
that is haunting me.
