And basking in the burning sun

There rose the great whale's skeleton.

A thousand sea things stretch'd across

Their weary and bewilder'd way:

Great unnamed monsters wrinkled lay

With sunken eyes and shrunken form.

The strong sea-horse that rode the storm

With mane as light and white as floss,

Lay tangled in his mane of moss.

And anchor, hull, and cast-away,
