Oh billows bounding far
How wet, how wet you are!
How wet, how wet you are!
When first my gaze ye met
I said “Those waves are wet.”
I said “Those waves are wet.”
I said it and am quite
Convinced that I was right.
Convinced that I was right.
Who said those waves are dry?
I give that man the lie.
I give that man the lie.
Thy wetness, oh thou sea
Is wonderful to me.
Is wonderful to me.
It agitates my heart
To see how wet thou art.
To see how wet thou art.
No object I have met
Is more profoundly wet.
Is more profoundly wet.
Methinks were vain to try
Oh sea, to wipe thee dry.
Oh sea, to wipe thee dry.
I therefore will refrain.
Farewell, thou humid main.
Farewell, thou humid main.
From his letters.
