O billows bounding far,
How wet, how we ye are!
When first my gaze ye met
I said "Those waves are wet."
I said it, and am quite
Convinced that I was right.
Who saith that ye are dry?
I give that man the lie.
Thy wetness, O thou sea,
Is wonderful to me.
It agitates my heart,
To think how wet thou art.
No object I have met
Is more profoundly wet.
Methinks 'twere vain to try,
O sea, to wipe thee dry.
I therefore will refrain.
Farewell, thou humid main.
