The Frowning Cliff Poem by Herbert Asquith

The Frowning Cliff

Rating: 4.5


The sea has a laugh
And the cliff a frown;
For the laugh of the sea is wearing him down.

Lipping and lapping
Frown as he may,
The laughing sea
Will eat him away;

Knees and body,
And tawny head,
He'll smile at last
On a golden bed.

It seems that the sea and the cliff are at odds, but the sea is to have the last laugh.
