At the River

Another handmade dress, nautical of course, because I cannot resist a nautical print, and cotton, because if I had my choice, everything would be cotton....well, maybe not everything, but most things, and deep blue for the river.

Blue Whale Dress

The River by Richard Aldington

I

I drifted along the river

Until I moored my boat

By these crossed trunks.

 Here the mist moves

Over fragile leaves and rushes

Colorless waters and brown fading hills.

She has come from beneath the trees,

Moving within the mist,

A floating leaf.

II

O blue flower of the evening,

You have touched my face

With your leaves of silver.
