Back to the marshes

“Sunlight and Shadow: The Newbury (Mass.) Marshes” (oil on canvas), by Martin Johnson Heade (1819-1904).

'Tis May now in New England
And through the open door
I see the creamy breakers,
I hear the hollow roar.

Back to the golden marshes
Comes summer at full tide,
But not the golden comrade
Who was the summer's pride.

— “Tis May Now in New England,’’ by Bliss Carman (1861-1929), Canadian poet who lived most of his life in the United States.
