The ocean said to me once

 The ocean said to me once,
"Look!
Yonder on the shore
Is a woman, weeping.

I have watched her.

Go you and tell her this --
Her lover I have laid
In cool green hall.

There is wealth of golden sand
And pillars, coral-red;
Two white fish stand guard at his bier.


"Tell her this
And more --
That the king of the seas
Weeps too, old, helpless man.

The bustling fates
Heap his hands with corpses
Until he stands like a child
With a surplus of toys.
"
