Pejmanesque: BURNING DRIFT-WOOD

Pejmanesque: BURNING DRIFT-WOOD: "I know the solemn monotone
Of waters calling unto me;
I know from whence the airs have blown
That whisper of the Eternal Sea.

As low my fires of drift-wood burn,
I hear that sea's deep sounds increase,
And, fair in sunset light, discern
Its mirage-lifted Isles of Peace.

--John Greenleaf Whittier, Burning Drift-Wood"
