Yawn hells of golden ghastliness, and sweep

Distending foam, tempestuous, up each steep

Of raucous iron. In a fever-fit,

He seemed to see, on crags the lightning lit,

With tangled hair wild-blown, nude mermaids sit,

Singing, and beckoning with foam-white arms

Some far ship struggling with the strangling storm's

Resistless exultation. And there came

One breaker, mountained heavenward, all aflame

With glow-worm green, that boomed against the cliff
