I started Early—Took my Dog— 

I started Early – Took my Dog -
And visited the Sea -
The Mermaids in the Basement
Came out to look at me -

And Frigates – in the Upper Floor
Extended Hempen Hands -
Presuming Me to be a Mouse -
Aground – upon the Sands -

But no Man moved Me – till the Tide
Went past my simple Shoe -
And past my Apron – and my Belt
And past my Bodice – too -

All What Jazz
by Philip Larkin (1922-1985)
