It's certainly not your fault. It's from a living author, so there are rules to be followed. But thanks for sharing it, it's a great poem indeed, much of US culture and history in a few lines! Enjoyed it very much.
Very intense and probably realistic representation of a storm and the reactions of the crew of the ship attacked by it. Interesting poet.

Delicate but pessimistic.
"The Shell and the Heart
by Ruby Archer
Even as the shell doth glow
To myriad tints of beauty
Only upon that side
Not buried in the sand
But yielded to the magic
Of the sun,—
So will the heart take on
Its fairest hues of joy—
The radiance of being—
Turned to that light ineffable
Of love.
