The poem "The Waterkant" describes a situation of a man who had visited this part of the Northern Sea the first time one evening before when the flood had its high tide. Next day when he came back he expected to see the sea again but he met the low tide and couldn't understand what had happened till children gave him the explanation.

The Waterkant

Today, after lunch, again you´ll go
to the seaside, against the wild wind´s blow.

You can hear the Christ church´s bell
your tongue tastes the sea´s salty smell.

You feel the heartbeat till your neck
and your mouth whispers "I´ll come back".

Your legs move faster as yesterday
there, finally there is the Ocean´s Bay.

The wind moves the seabirds around
they rise and fall with a rough sound.

You start to run, there, there is the sea...
you can´t trust your eyes, how could it be?

There is no water in front of yor sight
the ocean had gone during last night.

You look to the sky and search the sun
okay, she is there and some clouds on a run.

Children are playing where the sea had been.
You ask them "Have one of you the water seen?"

They laugh "It´s turn of tide,the water must go
but a little bit later, again, begins the flow".
