ANSWER TO "THE PATHLESS DEEP."
THE wind is fair, the dancing spray
Fast breaking round our bow,—
The sea bird wheeling far away,
All merrily on we go!
Fast breaking round our bow,—
The sea bird wheeling far away,
All merrily on we go!
My own, my own, thou dancing waves,
With bright and pearl crown'd ts,
Murmuring o'er its coral caves,
Where the mermaid idle rests!
With bright and pearl crown'd ts,
Murmuring o'er its coral caves,
Where the mermaid idle rests!
Cool and clear, mid the reft below,
The fish and dolphins play;
As living gems, to the rocks there grow
The ocean flowers so gay.
The fish and dolphins play;
As living gems, to the rocks there grow
The ocean flowers so gay.
Swift-footed waves, ye wildly dance
To the mermaid's Syren song;
And throwing back the pale moon's glance,
Ye gaily trip along!

And throwing back the pale moon's glance,
Ye gaily trip along!
