I was wearied of my shoal

A-down the valleys of the sea
And left me fettered…

Along the wave-washed dunes,
I heard eleven fiddler crabs
A-playing pleasant tunes
All in a row with each his bow,
As merry as could be,
A fish's hornpipe they composed
Beside…

Brother, with a mind to grumble
At the place you occupy
Don't you think it is your level,
Though it isn't very high?
Don't you think, if you were worthy,
You'd get farther up, somehow-
That the fault is in your idols?…

The Devil's been a man

A home on the rolling deep
Where the scattered waters rave
And the wild winds their revela keep!

On this du duil, unchanging shore

The pines were asleep in the mid-day heat,
That quivered down the lea,
But they waked with the roar of a wave- swept shore
When the wind came in from the sea
They sang of ships and the bo's'n piped,

Last night a pale young Moon was wed
Unto the amorous, eager Sea;
Her maiden veil of mist she wore,
His kingly purple vesture, he
With her a bridal train of stars
Walked sisterly through shadows dim,

The light shone on the headland
For the storm was raging high:
I shaded my eyes from the inner glare,
And gazed on the west, gray sky

The waves were booming loud
And the snow…

Full many a ship puts out to sea,
Not knowing what the end may be;
And if each tarried the end to know,
How many ships to sea would go?

The wind did search me through and through,
When, looking past the pale, I read…

Away they went with one accord
The "Isabel" and "Riven"
But at last the sailors lost control,
The brave boats smashed together,
And to the bottom they both…

I stood one day by the breezy bay
A-watching the ships go by,
When a tired tar said, with a shake of his head:
"I wisht I could tell a he!
"I've seen some sights as would jigger yer lights,
And they've jiggered…
