Like spirits on the darkness of the deep.

There is a magnet-like attraction in

These waters to the imaginative power,

That links the viewless with the visible,

And pictures things unseen. To realms beyond

Yon highway of the world my fancy flies,

When by her tall and triple mast we know

Some noble voyager that has to woo

The trade-winds, and to stem the ecliptic surge.

The coral groves—the shores of conch and pearl,
