A queen of brine
Open your eyes and behold
From seas arisen lofty tides
Tall and billowy, she bore worlds in her depths
Seven fathoms, ten thousands billows
Winds roared, and met the waves midair
Heavenly tumult engaged
For a war of a scale so great
And forces so majestic
Small wonder froth broke out
And died upon pebbled shores
Such fury thus raged on
Three days, three nights
A perpetual onslaught of gusts and surfs
Raging from coast to coast
Till the coast an eddying depth
Mighty swells, a rising flow
That bent barricades and bowed to no hurdles
See, you awful eye she raptured all fortifications
They call her storm, queen of brine!
