Where the land is left unguarded — And they seize the sand and pebbles — Tear the moistened earth in ridges — Bearing out to sea the trophies Which they grasp and hold securely ! But, as though they half relented When the earth so meekly yielded, As they pass, they sweep the margin Smooth and clear till glistening shadows Bear no marks to tell the outrao^e Of the lawless waves and breakers. Blust'ring, plunging, still they answer As the winds repeat the challenge, And the din o^rows wild and fr...antic While the earth looks on and trembles When the winds and waters meeting Shriek like angry beasts in battle, Or, like thunder, roar and rumble ! When the sea lifts proudly skyward Fearlessly to meet the foeman. Who, although so boldly warring. Never once displays his features. CLUBBING THE SEA-OTTER. 1 87 When the war is wildly rampant, And the winds, in rude tornadoes. Sweep the isles from coast to seaboard ; When the blending sounds, redoubled, Detonate from crag to cliff-top, — Then the hardy Aleut hunters Launch their strong and tough bidarkas.
