Devouring the green azures; where, entranced in pallid flotsam,
A dreaming drowned man sometimes goes down.

But when they drop and die

Helps not the primal fault;
It rains into the sea
And still the sea is salt.

Re-opes its sparkling eye.

I made you many and many a song,
Yet never one told all you are

And dipped sea-water eagerly,
Only to find it lost the blue
Dark splendor of the sea.
