    Alone I walked on the ocean strand,
    A pearly shell was in my hand;
    I stooped, and wrote upon the sand
    My name, the year, the day.
    As onward from the sport I passed,
    One lingering look behind I cast,
    A wave came rolling high and fast,
    And washed my lines away.

The sea heaves up, hangs loaded o'er the land,
Breaks there, and buries its tumultuous strength.

Behold the Sea,
The opaline, the plentiful and strong,
Yet beautiful as is the rose in June,
Fresh as the trickling rainbow of July;
Sea full of food, the nourisher of kinds,
Purger of earth, and medicine of men;
Creating a sweet climate by my breath,
Washing out harms and griefs from memory,
And, in my mathematic ebb and flow,
Giving a hint of that which changes not.

Full many a gem of purest ray serene,
The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear.

There's not a sea the passenger e'er pukes in,
Turns up more dangerous breakers than the Euxine.

What are the wild waves saying,
Sister, the whole day long,
That ever amid our playing
I hear but their low, lone song?

And the waves bound beneath me as a steed

Once more upon the waters! yet once more!
And the waves bound beneath me as a steed
That knows his rider.

The sea! the sea! the open sea!
The blue, the fresh, the ever free!
Without a mark, read more

The sea! the sea! the open sea!
The blue, the fresh, the ever free!
Without a mark, without a bound,
It runneth the earth's wide regions round;
It plays with the clouds; it mocks the skies;
Or like a cradled creature lies.
