‘Come unto these yellow sands
And then take hands.
Curtsied when you have and kissed
The wild waves whist,
Foot it featly here and there;
And sweet sprites, the burthen bear.
Hark, hark!
Bow wow! Bow wow!
The watch-dogs bark. 1.09 minutes Bow wow! bow wow!
Hark,v hark! I hear
The strain of strutting chanticleer
Cry cock-a-doodle-dow’!
Full fathom five thy father lies,
Of his bones are coral made; 1.50 minutes
These are pearls that were his eyes;
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell:
Hark! Now I hear them - Ding-dong-bell’!
‘Where the bee sucks, there suck I,
In a cowslip’s bell I lie;
There I crouch when owls do cry.
On the bat’s back I do fly 0.30 minutes
After summer merrily,
Merrily, merrily shall I live now,
Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.’
