Ebb

by Edna St. Vincent Millay

Ebb was published in Millay's poetry collection, Second April (1921).


     I know what my heart is like
       Since your love died:
     It is like a hollow ledge
     Holding a little pool
       Left there by the tide,
       A little tepid pool,
     Drying inward from the edge.
