    How dear to this heart are the scenes of my childhood,
    When fond recollection presents them to view.

    The old oaken bucket, the iron-bound bucket,
    The moss-covered bucket, which hung in the well.

Nor any drop to drink.

That ever this should be!
Yes, slimy things did crawl with legs
Upon the slimy sea.
