See how yon flaming herald treads	A
The ridged and rolling waves	B
As crashing o'er their crested heads	A
She bows her surly slaves	B
With foam before and fire behind	C
She rends the clinging sea	D
That flies before the roaring wind	C
Beneath her hissing lee	D
	-
The morning spray like sea born flowers	E
With heaped and glistening bells	F
Falls round her fast in ringing showers	E
With every wave that swells	F
And burning o'er the midnight deep	G
In lurid fringes thrown	H
The living gems of ocean sweep	G
Along her flashing zone	H
	-
With clashing wheel and lifting keel	I
And smoking torch on high	J
When winds are loud and billows reel	I
She thunders foaming by	J
When seas are silent and serene	K
With even beam she glides	L
The sunshine glimmering through the green	K
That skirts her gleaming sides	L
	-
Now like a wild nymph far apart	M
She veils her shadowy form	N
The beating of her restless heart	M
Still sounding through the storm	N
Now answers like a courtly dame	O
The reddening surges o'er	P
With flying scarf of spangled flame	O
The Pharos of the shore	Q
	-
To night yon pilot shall not sleep	G
Who trims his narrowed sail	R
To night yon frigate scarce shall keep	G
Her broad breast to the gale	R
And many a foresail scooped and strained	S
Shall break from yard and stay	T
Before this smoky wreath has stained	S
The rising mist of day	T
	-
Hark hark I hear yon whistling shroud	U
I see yon quivering mast	V
The black throat of the hunted cloud	U
Is panting forth the blast	V
An hour and whirled like winnowing chaff	W
The giant surge shall fling	X
His tresses o'er yon pennon staff	W
White as the sea bird's wing	X
	-
Yet rest ye wanderers of the deep	G
Nor wind nor wave shall tire	P
Those fleshless arms whose pulses leap	G
With floods of living fire	P
Sleep on and when the morning light	Y
Streams o'er the shining bay	T
Oh think of those for whom the night	Y
Shall never wake in day	T
