Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIHJKLMN OPQORQH

OR from that Sea of TimeA
Spray blown by the wind a double winrow drift of weeds and shellsB
O little shells so curious convolute so limpid cold and voicelessC
Yet will you not to the tympans of temples heldD
Murmurs and echoes still bring up Eternity's music faint and farE
Wafted inland sent from Atlantica's rim strains for the Soul of theF
PrairiesG
Whisper'd reverberations chords for the ear of the West joyouslyH
soundingI
Your tidings old yet ever new and untranslatableH
Infinitessimals out of my life and many a lifeJ
For not my life and years alone I give all all I giveK
These thoughts and Songs waifs from the deep here cast high andL
dryM
Wash'd on America's shoresN
-
-
Currents of starting a Continent newO
Overtures sent to the solid out of the liquidP
Fusion of ocean and land tender and pensive wavesQ
Not safe and peaceful only waves rous'd and ominous tooO
Out of the depths the storm's abysms Who knows whence Death'sR
wavesQ
Raging over the vast with many a broken spar and tatter'd sailH
