Book Description
Excerpt from The Pelican Island, and Other Poems The examination of a coral reef during the different stages of one tide, is particularly in teresting. When the tide has left it for some time it becomes dry, and appears to be a com pact rock, exceedingly hard and ragged; but as the tide rises, and the waves begin to wash over it, the coral worms protrude themselves from holes which before were invisible. These animals are of a great variety Of shapes and sizes, and in such prodigious numbers, that, in a short time, the whole surface Of the rock appears to be alive and in motion. The most common worm is in the form Of a star, with arms from four to six inches long, which are moved abolit with a rapid motion in all direc tions, probably to catch food. Others are sosluggish, that they may be mistaken for pieces Of the rock, and are generally Of a dark colour, and from four to five inches long, and two or three round. When the coral is broken about high-water mark, it is a solid hard stone; but if any part Of it be detached at a spot which the tide reaches every day, it is found to be full Of worms Of different lengths and colours, some being as fine as a thread and several feet long, Of a bright yellow, and sometimes Of a blue colour; others resemble snails, and some are not unlike lobsters in shape, but soft, and not above two inches long.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Island of Youth: And Other Poems His is the sea. In these uneven walls A wave lies prisoned. Far and far away Outward to ocean, as the slow tide falls, Her sisters through the capes that hold the bay Dancing in lovely liberty recede. Yet lovely in captivity she lies, Filled with soft colours, where the waving 'weed Moves gently and discloses to our eyes Blurred shining veins of rock and lucent shells Under the light-shot water; and here repose Small quiet fish and dimly glowing bells Of sleeping sea-anemones that close Their tender fronds and will not now awake Till on these rocks the waves returning break.

Excerpt from The Emerald Isle: A Poem A must outline of the following Poem was some time since presented to the Public under the title of The Consolations of Erin. The reception of my rude and unfinished Sketch so far surpassed my most sanguine expectations, that, were it only out of gratitude, I could do no less than endeavour to repay, as far as labour could repay, the loan with which I had been so prematurely honoured. Conscious, homever, ofinany errors, and naturally fearful of more, the only apo logy which I can ofier, is, the purity of my motive.
