Sea shell

Nose in book time.

Sea shell, Sea shell,
  Sing me a song, oh please!
A song of ships, and sailor men,
  And parrots, and tropical trees.

Of islands lost in the Spanish Main
Which no man ever may find again,
Of fishes and corals under the waves,
And sea-horses stabled in great green caves.

Sea shell, Sea shell,
Sing of the things you know so well.
