SEA SHELL

Amy Lowell  1874-1925

Sea Shell, Sea Shell,

Sing me a song, O Please!

A song of ships, and sailor men,

And parrots, and tropical trees,

Of islands lost in the Spanish Main

Which no man ever may find again,

Of fishes and corals under the waves,

And seahorses stabled in great green caves.

Sea Shell, Sea Shell,

Sing of the things you know so well.

The following lines have nothing to do with Amy Lowell's poem

When I read Shakespeare I am struck with wonder
That such trivial people should muse and thunder
In such lovely language.
- D.H. Lawrence 1885-1930
