Neptune's Realm

Masted castles crown the mountains
   Hidden by the brackish sea,
Where a string of boiling fountains
   Dot the ever-spreading lea. 

Leafless forests of the deep,
   Visited by swimming birds,
Serve as sailors’ place to sleep,
   Roamed by mute, abyssal herds. 

Neptune’s armies stride undaunted
   While his mammoths plunge and rise,
One of which bewitched and haunted
   Ahab to his swift demise.
