The summer sea was smooth as silk.
The gypsy winds were dead.
Like dark blue velvet over US
The sky OF midnight spread
From horizon to horizon
Set thick with golden stars;
And under US were sunken decks.
Drowned men and broken spars.
Rejected In the auieAdeep
The consultations bright.
Besemmed the FURNISHED tides with points
OF scintiliating light.
And for the hapless victims Of
The U-boat wolves. behold!
Made OF the eea a service nag
With stars of shining gold.
