The nymph's passion is leavened
by the embrace of the sea
whose trilling undulations
exult in sweet rhapsody
Bust heaving a foam brassiere
his vessel a bared blue fount
of soaked kisses twanged in salt
these tender stars in tidal
her eyes singing in his roar
sapphires strands in adorn
that tender supplication
that sweep her to his shores
