Before my eyes, The sea stretches far; An infinite scroll of chiffon Rolling and unrolling In shades of green and sapphire In its sedate hours of brooding silence A calm expanse with feeble waves As if seized by an uncanny lassitude Lying in majesty Swirling in ecstasy Within this mammoth silver submarine, How many mysterious live forms thrive! What curious shaped corals, what all sea urchins! What wealth of fish, what gigantic mammals! Between the blue sky above And the blue sea below I see seagulls fly, The long beaked pelicans prey, Grampuses heaving their huge form Above the calm surface And the milky spray Tossing shiny pearls Upon the stretching naked strands I can see a distant sail And the hull of a ship Gliding over undulating waves Leaving a frothy trail of foam behind With water churning and spiraling around Where sharks and seals and dolphins swim Piles of silver clouds move above And the golden sands stretch below With periwinkles, ***** and shells Scattered by the receding waves Splashing tides, dancing weeds Rising crescendo, falling rhythm Oh! What a splendid scene In the rosy gleam of this evening! What delectable mélange Of tinkling sensory delights!

The Unrolling Expanse
Before my eyes, The sea stretches far; An infinite scroll of chiffon Rolling and unrolling In shades of green and sapphire In its sedate hours of brooding silence A calm expanse with feeble waves As if seized by an uncanny lassitude Lying in majesty Swirling in ecstasy Within this mammoth silver submarine, How many mysterious live forms thrive! What curious shaped corals, what all sea urchins! What wealth of fish, what gigantic mammals! Between the blue sky above And the blue sea below I see seagulls fly, The long beaked pelicans prey, Grampuses heaving their huge form Above the calm surface And the milky spray Tossing shiny pearls Upon the stretching naked strands I can see a distant sail And the hull of a ship Gliding over undulating waves Leaving a frothy trail of foam behind With water churning and spiraling around Where sharks and seals and dolphins swim Piles of silver clouds move above And the golden sands stretch below With periwinkles, ***** and shells Scattered by the receding waves Splashing tides, dancing weeds Rising crescendo, falling rhythm Oh! What a splendid scene In the rosy gleam of this evening! What delectable mélange Of tinkling sensory delights!
