Come unto these yellow sands,
And then take hands.
Curtsy when you have, and kissed
The wild waves whist.
Foot it featly here and there,
And, sweet sprites,
The burden to bear
I hear the strain of strutting
Chanticleer oh Cry “Cock-a-diddle-dow.”
Full fathom five thy father lies.
Of his bones are coral made.
Those are pearls that were his eyes.
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
