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!
