LIE POLLOCK,
Unless, maybe, at black of night,
Up from the phosphorescent sea
a phantom craft makes for the blight.
And anchors off the ghostly Key;
And all the fierce dead fighting men
From deep-sea grave or gibbet-chaiK
Riot upon the beach again,
AS when they bled the Spanish Main.
But when the dawn wind gives the sign
Back to the dark the shades retire.
Trailing along the shuddering brine
A wake of evanescent fire
And silence on that haunted shore
Renews her endless reign alone,
Pulsed by the long tides rising roar.
The surf's Withdrawing monotone.
