The curses that rise in me.

O well for the fisherman's boy,

If he likes to be soused with the spray!

O well for the sailor lad,

As he paddles about in the bay!

And the ships swim happily on

To their haven under the hill:

But O for a clutch at that vanish'd hand,

And a kick—for I'm catching a chill!

Break, break, break,
