First Line: Sea-beauty! Stretch'd and basking!
Last Line: Isle of the salty shore and breeze and brine!


Sea-beauty! stretch'd and basking!
One side thy inland ocean laving, broad, with copious
commerce, steamers, sails,
And one the Atlantic's wind caressing, fierce or gentle --
mighty hulls dark-gliding in the distance.
Isle of sweet brooks of drinking-water -- healthy air and soil!
Isle of the salty shore and breeze and brine!
