Full Fathom Five
Full fathom five thy father lies,
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell:
Ding-dong.
Hark! now I hear them, - ding-dong bell.
Shakespeare, interpreted by Ralph Vaughan Williams
(For all those people who didn't make it across the Atlantic the other day. I cross it a fair bit and this is one of my biggest fears.)
