And down she sank till, keeled in sand,

She rested safely balanced true,

With all her upward gazing band,

The piper and the dreaming crew.

And there, unmarked of any chart,

In unrecorded deeps they lie,

Empearled within the purple heart

Of the great sea for aye and aye.

Their eyes are ruby in the green

Long shaft of sun that spreads and rays,
