The sea-gulls restless gleam and glance, / The mad white coursers cleave the length / Of ocean as they rear and prance / And toss their manes in stormy strength.
The day is ending. Raindrops choke / The sunset furnaces. The gloom / Brings the great steamboat spitting smoke, / And beating down its long black plume.
