When descends on the AtlanticA
The giganticA
Storm wind of the equinoxB
Landward in his wrath he scourgesC
The toiling surgesD
Laden with seaweed from the rocksB
-
From Bermuda's reefs from edgesD
Of sunken ledgesC
In some far off bright AzoreE
From Bahama and the dashingF
Silver flashingF
Surges of San SalvadorE
-
From the tumbling surf that buriesG
The Orkneyan skerriesG
Answering the hoarse HebridesG
And from wrecks of ships and driftingF
Spars upliftingF
On the desolate rainy seasG
-
Ever drifting drifting driftingF
On the shiftingF
Currents of the restless mainH
Till in sheltered coves and reachesG
Of sandy beachesG
All have found repose againI
-
So when storms of wild emotionJ
Strike the oceanJ
Of the poet's soul erelongF
From each cave and rocky fastnessG
In its vastnessG
Floats some fragment of a songF
-
From the far off isles enchantedK
Heaven has plantedL
With the golden fruit of TruthM
From the flashing surf whose visionJ
Gleams ElysianJ
In the tropic clime of YouthM
-
From the strong Will and the EndeavorE
That foreverE
Wrestle with the tides of FateN
From the wreck of Hopes far scatteredO
Tempest shatteredO
Floating waste and desolateP
-
Ever drifting drifting driftingF
On the shiftingF
Currents of the restless heartQ
Till at length in books recordedL
They like hoardedK
Household words no more departQ
