Sea Shell (Monday Poem)

by Amy Lowell


Sea Shell, Sea Shell,
Sing me a song, please!
A song of ships and sailormen,
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.
