"That leap and light, and sudden change to green,

And all the glittering from the sunset's red,

And the milky colours where the bursts have been,

And then the clipper striding like a queen

Over it all, all beauty to the crown.

I see it all, I cannot put it down.

"It's hard not to be able. There, look there!

I cannot get the movement nor the light;

Sometimes it almost makes a man despair

To try and try and never get it right.
