Page 7 - The wonderful air is over me, And the wonderful wind is shaking the tree; It walks on the water, and whirls the mills, And talks to itself on the tops of the hills.

The earth I sway; Granite to me is potter's clay ; Under the touch of my careless waves It rises in turrets and sinks in caves; The iron cliffs that edge the land I grind to pebbles and sift to sand, And beach-grass bloweth and children play In what were the rocks of yesterday. It is but a moment of sport to me. I am the Sea ! I am the Sea. In my bosom deep Wealth and Wonder and Beauty sleep ; Wealth and Wonder and Beauty rise In changing splendor of sunset skies, And comfort the earth...
