<span class="i0">A dash of spray,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">A weed-browned way,—<br/></span>
<span class="i0">My ship's in the bay,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">In the glad blue bay,—<br/></span>
<span class="i0">The wind's from the west<br/></span>
<span class="i0">And the waves have a crest,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">But my bird's in the nest<br/></span>
<span class="i0">And my ship's in the bay!<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">At dawn to stand<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Soft hand to hand,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Bare feet on the sand,—<br/></span>
<span class="i0">On the hard brown sand,—<br/></span>
<span class="i0">To wait, dew-crowned,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">For the tarrying sound<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Of a keel that will ground<br/></span>
<span class="i0">On the scraping sand.<br/></span>

<span class="i0">He will come, my sweet,<br/></span>

<span class="i0">Those hurrying feet<br/></span>

<span class="i0">Ah! there's wind in the west,<br/></span>
