As Tammie glow'red, amazed and curious,
The mirth and fun grew fast and furious.
I have seen
A curious child, who dwelt upon a tract
Of inland ground, applying to his ear
The convolutions of a smooth-lipped shell,
To which, in silence hushed, his very soul
Listened intensely; and his countenance soon
Brightened with joy, for from within were heard
Murmurings, whereby the monitor expressed
Mysterious union with his native sea.
Busy, curious, thirsty fly,
Drink with me, and drink as I.
