Meaning of seamew

Noun

seamew (plural seamews)

  1. The common gull (Larus canus).
    • Now dance the lights on lawn and lea,
      The flocks are whiter down the vale,
      And milkier every milky sail
      On winding stream or distant sea;
      Where now the seamew pipes, or dives
      In yonder greening gleam, and fly
      The happy birds, that change their sky
      To build and brood1849, Alfred, Lord Tennyson, In Memoriam A.H.H., canto CXV
