107 A SEA DIRGE

FULL fathom five thy father lies:

  Of his bones are coral made;

Those are pearls that were his eyes:

  Nothing of him that doth fade,

But doth suffer a sea-change

Into something rich and strange.

Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell:

Hark! now I hear them,—

    Ding, dong, bell.
