Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · leaf 228
r the sea! It was a lonely Fisherman, who drifted with his boat,—Alack! this life is nothing more than fish, and row, and float;There s plenty worth the living for if I were on the land,But here the world is all made up of water, salt, and sand. There might be more variety if things were turned… … Then the Fisherman he shouldered his basket, rod, and hook, While the Shepherd sauntered surlily, a-slinging of his crook; They nodded to each other,— a nod unreconciled,— And the great sun gave a parting look, then smiled, and smiled, and smiled!
