Sea-beauty! stretchd and basking!
One side thy inland ocean laving, broad, with copious commerce,
steamers, sails,
And one the Atlantics wind caressing, fierce or gentle mighty
hulls dark-gliding in the distance.
Isle of sweet brooks of drinking-water healthy air and soil!
Isle of the salty shore and breeze and brine!
Paumanok is near the coast
The North is filled with harbors and trading
The South faces the rest of the ocean
This is interesting because Paumanok is home to both fresh water and salt water reserves
