A QUATRAIN by FRANK DEMPSTER SHERMAN

First Line: HARK AT THE LIPS OF THIS PINK WHORL OF SHELL
Last Line: A THOUSAND LINES SHALL ALL BE SUNG IN FOUR!

HARK at the lips of this pink whorl of shell
And you shall hear the ocean's surge and roar:
So in the quatrain's measure, written well,
A thousand lines shall all be sung in four!
