Solution
| Landscape | Seascape |
| Sweet is the shade of the coconut glade and the scent of the mango grove. | But sweeter, O brothers, the kiss of the spray and the dance of the wild foam’s glee. |
| And sweet are the sands at the full o' the moon with the sound of the voices we love. | Row, brothers, row to the edge of the verge, where the low sky mates with the sea. |
