 The morrow came; and three abreast1, with snorting prows2, we raced along; our mat-sails panting to the breeze. All present partook of the life of the air; and unanimously Yoomy was called upon for a song. The canoes were passing a long, white reef, sparkling with shells, like a jeweler's case: and thus Yoomy sang in the same old strain as of yore; beginning aloud, where he had left off in his soul:—
 
    Her sweet, sweet mouth!
      The peach-pearl shell:—
    Red edged its lips,
      That softly swell3,
    Just oped to speak,
    With blushing cheek,
      That fisherman
    With lonely spear
      On the reef ken4,
    And lift to ear
    Its voice to hear,—
      Soft sighing South!
    Like this, like this,—
    The rosy5 kiss!—
      That maiden's mouth.
    A shell! a shell!
    A vocal6 shell!
      Song-dreaming,
    In its inmost dell!
 
  Her bosom7! Two buds half blown, they tell;
    A little valley between perfuming;
          That roves away,
          Deserting the day,—
      The day of her eyes illuming;—
    That roves away, o'er slope and fell,
    Till a soft, soft meadow becomes the dell.
Thus far, old Mohi had been wriggling8
