The Sea

The Four Observations of the Sea



I am the sign that God made men free:
This was the first observation of the Sea.

To Womankind also I make my plea:
This was the next observation of the Sea.

If I could turn to ink or blood, I would prefer tea:
This was the third observation of the Sea.

Even the sea wearies of the sea:
This was the last sigh of the Sea.

(All things realized, I am humble as a bee;
 this was the soft afterthought of the Sea.)
