Rose, or the church-bells rang, or men awoke.

And then, in the first light, to see grow clear

That long-expected haven filled with strangers--

Alive with men and women; see and hear

Its clattering market and its money-changers;

And hear the surf beat, and be free from dangers,

And watch the crinkled ocean blue with calm

Drowsing beneath the Trade, beneath the palm.

Hungry for that he worked; the hour went by,

And still the wind grew, still the clipper strode,
