— Seashells
I have a large sea shell collection which I keep scattered on beaches all over the world. Maybe you've seen it.
She sells sea-shells on the sea-shore;The shells she sells are sea-shells I'm sure.
One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach. One can collect only a few, and they are more beautiful if they are few.
I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
But I have sinuous shells of pearly hueAnd murmurs as the ocean murmurs there.
I send thee a shell from the ocean-beach;Tales of ships.
I have seenMysterious union with its native sea.
Go gather by the humming seaSin, then, for this is also sooth.
