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—and —with mighty hulls dark-gliding |
| in the distance: |
| Isle of sweet drinking-water—healthy air |
| and soil!—isle of the earth and brine! |
