The Pearl Divers and Crusoes of the Sargasso Sea

Book II Pearl Fishing in Cannibal Isles

“Adieu, adieu! my native shore
  Fades o’er the waters blue;
 The night-winds sigh, the breakers roar,
  And shrieks the wild sea-mew.
 Yon sun that sets upon the sea
  We follow in his flight;
 Farewell awhile to him and thee,
  My native land—good night!”

—Byron.
