Lobster-car, boat, or fishbasket, Peeps, noddies, oldsquaws, or quail, To Musketaquid what from Nantasket, What token of greeting & hail? Can we tie up & send you our thunder, -- Pulse-beat of the sea on the shore? Or our Rainbow, the daughter of Wonder, Our rock Massasoit's palace-door. White pebbles from Nantasket beach, Whereon to write the maiden's name; Shells, sea-eggs, sea flowers, could they teach Thee the fair haunts from whence they came! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BENEDICTION by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON TO THE PEACOCK OF FRANCE by MARIANNE MOORE FACADE: 21.
