Something that more typically sails and sinks because of a storm. One word should obviously come to mind first, and it's not far from that word to the right one. |

Voice of the THIRD SPIRIT
In the blue depth of the waters,
Where the wave hath no strife,
Where the wind is a s______, (there's no wind at all in the depths of the sea; two syllables; anthropomorphic)
And the sea-snake hath life,
Where the Mermaid is decking
Her green hair with shells;
Like the storm on the surface
Came the sound of thy spells;
O'er my calm Hall of Coral
The deep echo roll'd--
To the Spirit of Ocean
Thy wishes unfold!
FOURTH SPIRIT
Where the slumbering earthquake
Lies pillow'd on fire,
And the lakes of bitumen
Rise b______ higher; (the lakes of bitumen rise as they b______; it may help to think of a pot of milk on the stove)
Where the roots of the Andes
Strike deep in the earth,
As their summits to heaven
Shoot soaringly forth;
I have quitted my birth-place,
Thy bidding to bide--
Thy spell hath subdued me,
Thy will be my guide!
FIFTH SPIRIT
I am the Rider of the wind,
The Stirrer of the storm;
The hurricane I left behind
Is yet with lightning warm;
To speed to thee, o'er shore and sea (a word in this line tells you the setting for the last two)
I swept upon the blast:
The fl_____ I met sailed well, and yet
'Twill sink ere night be past.

Bubbling doesn't have three syllables, so that's out.

Something that more typically sails and sinks because of a storm. One word should obviously come to mind first, and it's not far from that word to the right one. I misunderstood your "it's related" hint concerning "floater", but the fact that I had guessed three kinds of boats so far (frigate, freighter and fishboat) and that you said nothing about them made me abandon that line of inquiry. |
