The Sea The sea is a hungry dog Giant and grey. - alliteratoom He rolls on the beach all day, With his clashing teeth and shaggy jaws. Hour upon hour he gnaws The rumbling, tumbling stonesnandopor And 'Bones, bones, bones, bones!' - allation The giant sea-dog moans, all Licking his greasy paws. And when the night wind roars And the moon rocks in the stormy cloud, He bounds to his feet and snuffs and sniffs, Shaking his wet sides over the cliffs, And howls and hollos long and loud.
