At last, at last, unite them there.


THE CHAMBERED NAUTILUS.

This is the ship of pearl, which, poets feign,

Sails the unshadowed main,—

The venturous bark that flings

On the sweet summer wind its purpled wings

In gulfs enchanted, where the Siren sings, 5

And coral reefs lie bare,

Where the cold sea-maids rise to sun their streaming hair.
