Sea-beauty! stretch'd and basking! One side thy inland ocean laving, broad, with copious commerce, steamers, sails, And one the Atlantic's wind caressing, fierce or gentle -- mighty hulls dark-gliding in the distance. Isle of sweet brooks of drinking-water -- healthy air and soil! Isle of the salty shore and breeze and brine! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AT SAGAMORE HILL by EDGAR LEE MASTERS THE SNOW-SHOWER by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT THE MILKMAID'S SONG by SYDNEY THOMPSON DOBELL CYNTHIADES: TO CYNTHIA ON CONCEALMENT OF HER BEAUTY by FRANCIS KYNASTON THE MARYLAND BATTALION [AUGUST 27, 1776] by JOHN WILLIAMSON PALMER UNDERWOODS: BOOK 1: 5.
