    With Hessian blood on the blade.””

    Are half of them grown yellow
    Above the swelling stream;
    And ragged are the bushes,
    And rusty now the rushes,
    And wild the clouded gleam.”
    —Richard Watson Dixon (1833–1900)

    of frayed rusty scrapiron,
    is it the sea that shines?
    Is it a road at the world’s edge?”
