    Old Ocean's gray and melancholy waste,--
    Are but the solemn decorations all
    Of the great tomb of man.

And I have loved them, Ocean! and my joy

Man marks the earth with ruin--his control
Stops with the shore.

The sea! the sea! the open sea!
The blue, the fresh, the ever free!
Without a mark, without a bound,
It runneth the earth's wide regions round;
It plays with the clouds; it mocks the skies;
Or like a cradled creature lies.
