A SEASHORE IDYL by ELLEN W. CUNNINGHAM

First Line: ATLANTIC, BY THE SEA WE STAND
Last Line: ALLUDING TO THE WILD—WILD WAVES.
Subject(s): ATLANTIC OCEAN; SEA; WAVES; OCEAN;

Atlantic, by the sea we stand,
Ready to do or to die.
For our ocean and the shore
That has our future planned,
As of new and of yore.
May we ever be dreaming,
O the one and only sand,
Alluding to the wild—wild waves.
