These wet rocks where the tide has been, / Barnacled white and weeded brown

And slimed beneath to a beautiful green, / These wet rocks where the tide went down

Will show again when the tide is high

/ Faint and perilous, far from shore,

No place to dream, but a place to die: / The bottom of the sea once more.

There was a child that wandered through / A giant's empty house all day,-

House full of wonderful things and new, / But no fit place for a child to play!
