TO THE SEA
Beautiful sea so deep and wide,
Many gems thy waters hide;
Shells of every form and hue,
Lie hidden beneath thy waters blue.
Many gems thy waters hide;
Shells of every form and hue,
Lie hidden beneath thy waters blue.
You secrete many a pearly bed,
You also cover many dead;
Noble ships have found a home, too,
Beneath your waters, sea so blue,
You also cover many dead;
Noble ships have found a home, too,
Beneath your waters, sea so blue,
The moon that shines on the quiet lea,
Also lights your waves, bright blue sea,
And the quenchless stars their night vigils keep,
O'er you when you peacefully sleep.
Also lights your waves, bright blue sea,
And the quenchless stars their night vigils keep,
O'er you when you peacefully sleep.
Beautiful sea, so deep and wide,
Many gems thy waters hide,
Shells of every form and hue
Lie beneath thy water so blue.
[Aged 12 years.]
Many gems thy waters hide,
Shells of every form and hue
Lie beneath thy water so blue.
