Sea-Change

1.

Ariel

Come unto these yellow sands,

And then take hands.

Courtsied when you have and kissed

The wild waves whist.

Foot it featly here and there,

And sweet sprites bear

The burden. Hark, hark!

Burden

Bow-wow.

Ariel

The watch dogs bark!

Burden

Bow-wow.

Ariel

Hark, hark! I hear

The strain of strutting chanticleer

Cry cock-a-diddle-dow.

2.

Ariel

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.

Burden

Ding-dong.

Ariel

Hark, now I hear them:

Ding-dong, bell.
