A Sea Song
And all the tangled mysteries of fate,
Man's love and laughter, tears and hopes, and hate,
Were half forgotten. In those perfect hours
The bright sea tossed me blue and silver flowers
To play with; and a lark with sudden flight
Flew sunward, singing loud for my delight,
And I became a princess, even I,
Under my turquoise coloured tent, the sky,
My heart a-thrill with wonder and wild glee,
And for my lord and lover, the great sea.
Man's love and laughter, tears and hopes, and hate,
Were half forgotten. In those perfect hours
The bright sea tossed me blue and silver flowers
To play with; and a lark with sudden flight
Flew sunward, singing loud for my delight,
And I became a princess, even I,
Under my turquoise coloured tent, the sky,
My heart a-thrill with wonder and wild glee,
And for my lord and lover, the great sea.
