Living
The Sea Has Depths No Plummet-Line
From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)
Living
The sea has depths no plummet-line
Can reach, no science can divine;
And earth has poems so profound
No line can ever reach the ground;
They fly about in empty air,
And" boys catch at 'em here and there.
