My palace is in the coral cave
Set with spars by the ocean wave;
Would ye have gems, then seek them there,-
There found I the pearls that bind my hair.
I and the wind together can roam
Over the green waves and their white foam,-
See, I have got this silver shell,
Mark how my breath will its smallness swell.
