Into the Sea of Wrecks.

There, day and night, the mist lay white,

And pale stars shone at noon;

The sea around was foam and fire,

And overhead hung, thin as wire,

A will-o'-wisp of moon.

And through the mist, all white and whist,

Gaunt ships, with sea-weed wound,

With rotting masts, upon whose spars

The corposants lit spectre stars,
