    o’er the wrinkled blue­ Lo! the sea is fair‚ Smooth as the flow of a maiden’s hair; And the welkin’s light shines through Into mid-sea caverns of beryl hue‚ And the little waves laugh and the mermaids sing‚ And the sea is a beautiful‚ sinuous thing! I scowl in sullen guise­ The sea grows dark and dun‚ The swift clouds hide the sun But not the bale-light in my eyes‚ And the frightened wind as it flies Ruffles the billows with stormy wing‚ And the sea is a terrible‚ treacherous thing
