First Line: Cloud-wreath, mist-sheath

Subject(s): New York City - Dutch Period; Sea; Storms; Ocean
Cloud-wreath, mist-sheath,
Burr about the moon,
A dawn of red, a vault of lead:
A storm's a-coming soon.
Sea-gull, free gull
Flit across the sand:
A dirty sea there's sure to be
When you're upon the land.
Mare's tails, mare's tails
Sweep a mackerel sky:
Oh, reef your sail before the gale --
The foam is bound to fly!
