Excerpt from From the Lips of the Sea

This morning more mysterious seems the sea Than yesterday when, with reverberant roar, It charged upon the beaches, and the sky Above it shimmered cloudless. Now the waves Lap languorously along the foamless sand And all the far horizon swims in mist.

Out Of this murk, across this Oily sweep, Might lost armadas grandly sail to shore Jason might oar on Argo, or the stern Surge-wanderer from Ithaca's bleak isle Break on the sight, or Viking prows appear, And still not waken wonder. Aye, the sound Of siren singing might drift o'er the main And yet not fall upon amazed ears!

The soul is ripe for marvels. 0 great deep, Give up your host Of stately presences, Adventurers and sea-heroes of Old time.
