Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIHJKLMN OPQORQHOR from that Sea of Time | A |
Spray blown by the wind a double winrow drift of weeds and shells | B |
O little shells so curious convolute so limpid cold and voiceless | C |
Yet will you not to the tympans of temples held | D |
Murmurs and echoes still bring up Eternity's music faint and far | E |
Wafted inland sent from Atlantica's rim strains for the Soul of the | F |
Prairies | G |
Whisper'd reverberations chords for the ear of the West joyously | H |
sounding | I |
Your tidings old yet ever new and untranslatable | H |
Infinitessimals out of my life and many a life | J |
For not my life and years alone I give all all I give | K |
These thoughts and Songs waifs from the deep here cast high and | L |

Wash'd on America's shores | N |

Currents of starting a Continent new | O |
Overtures sent to the solid out of the liquid | P |
Fusion of ocean and land tender and pensive waves | Q |
Not safe and peaceful only waves rous'd and ominous too | O |
Out of the depths the storm's abysms Who knows whence Death's | R |
waves | Q |
Raging over the vast with many a broken spar and tatter'd sail | H |
