Thus exclaimed Poseidon, And plunged again into the sea. And, at his coarse sailor-wit. Laughed under the water Amphitrite, the stout fishwoman, And the stupid daughters of Nereus. 232
6 Declaration Shadowing downward came dusky evening. Wildly the breakers Wled, I sat alone upon the shore and gazed At the white dance of the waves. And my bosom heaved with the sea, A deep homesickness yearningly seized my heart For thee, oh lovely image. Who surround'st me everywhere. Who call'st to me everywhere. Everywhere, everywhere. In the rushing of the wind, in the dashing of the sea. And in the sighing of mine own breast.' With a slender reed I wrote upon the sand, "Agnes, I love thee!" But the wicked waves came overflowing That sweet confession, And blotted it out. Oh britde reed! oh swiftly-scattered sand! Oh flowingwaves, I trust you no more! The heavens grow darker, my heart beats more wildly. 233
