THE MYSTIC by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: HIS SOUL IS LIKE A SHELL, AN EMPTY SHELL
Last Line: THE MEMORIES AND MURMURS OF THE SHORE.

His soul is like a shell, an empty shell,
Within whose listening hollows evermore
Home-hungry dreams of distant oceans dwell,
The memories and murmurs of the shore.
