The sea is a hungry dog
Giant and grey
He rolls on the beach all day
With his clashing teeth
and shaggy jaws
hour upon hour he gnaws
the rumbling,tumbling stones
The giant sea-dog moans licking
his greasy paws

And when the night wind roars
and the moon rocks in the stormy cloud
he bounds to his feet and sniff and snuffs. That is the sea dog.
