Shell Sirens
SHELL SIRENS
In a beach shell held tight near the ear
The wind will wail and fill the sail with fear
From murmurs in muted rhythm
Of ships that shall move no more -
That sank to salty slumber in the sands -
The distant echoes of waves surging over their head:
Sirens urging boats to go where others feared to tread.
