Some experimentation with Dickinson's writing style and use of dark humor.
As the waves come crashing down
Upon us sailor folk,
We need not have our knuckles white
Nor brows the tint of prairie smoke.

As grim Fate knows of irony
And us sea-faring men,
I speak full truth when I do say
That we shall die on land.
