My driftwood fire will burn so bright ! To what warm shelter canst thou fly? I do not fear for thee, though wroth The tempest rushes through the sky ; For are we not God's children both, Thou, little sandpiper, and I ? Celia thaxter. SANDPIPERS The sandpipers trip on the glassy beach. Ready to mount and fly ; Whenever a ripple reaches their feet They rise with a timorous cry. Take care, they pipe, take care, take care. For this is a treacherous main. And though you may sail so deftly out. You m...ay never come home again. Duncan Campbell Scott. THE LITTLE BEACH SANDERLING By the beach border, where the breeze Comes freighted from the briny seas. By sandy bar and weedy rock I frequent meet thy roving flock ; Now hovering o'er the bending sedge, Now gather'd at the ocean edge ; Probing the sand for shrimps and shells, Or worms marine in hidden cells, WITH BIRDS AND POETS 219 A restless and inconstant band, Forever flitting o'er the sand. Sandpiper ! — haunting every shore Where'er the waves of ocean roar ; Old voyagers that roam the deep Tell that your dusky pinions sweep O'er the remotest islands set In ocean's emerald coronet.
