With a strange phosphoric light.

Lo, the sea-fowl, loudly screaming,

Seeks the shelter of the land;

And a signal light is gleaming

Where yon vesel nears the strand:

Just at sun-set she was lying

All-becalmed upon the main;

Now, with sails in tatters flying,

She to sea-ward beats—in vain!

Now the forest trees are shaking,
