PAUMANOK.

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!
