“I like to watch the bateau
“Crease the late afternoon creek.
“Calm as a waterman's eye—
“Blue as the Chesapeake.”
Bryon’s poems meditate on life on a Chesapeake cove—the old watermen who continue to prog its waters, the great wild swan that rest there on stormy winter days, even the tiny red partridge berries which brighten the woodland gully are noted.
