Excerpt from By Salt Marshes: Pictures and Poems of Old Ipswich
Salt marshes set about with round=topped hills, barberry hedges along old stone walls that climb over the upland pastures, grassy spaces patterned with savin and bay= berry, wild apple trees in the thickets, wide fields of daisies and frost flowers, shore lines of goldenrod and scarlet lilies, dark marsh islands, far and near, reflected in creek and salt pond, haystacks crowding into the horizon's perspective, a blue line of sea beyond the distant sand hills; such is the familiar Ipswich landscape, varied by season and sky and tide.
