First Line: I stand as on some mighty eagle's beak
Last Line: Seeking the shores forever.
Subject(s): Montauk Point, Long Island (new York)
I stand as on some mighty eagle's beak,
Eastward the sea absorbing, viewing, (nothing but sea and sky,)
The tossing waves, the foam, the ships in the distance,
The wild unrest, the snowy, curling caps -- that inbound
urge and urge of waves,
Seeking the shores forever.
