"SONG OF THE SEA."
(Original.) Waves of a boundless sea, 0 what is your ceaseless, story That your lapping sings to me? Sons of a mighty ocean, Do you sing of stately schooners With great white sails, like snow, That sailed o'er your restless bosom, In the days, of long ago? Do you sing of foam-flecked billows, 'Way on the fearful deep, That at times are raging monsters, And oft, like a child asleep 1 Do you sing of graceful seabirds That swoop from a cloudless sky; And 'light on your heaving waters. With their strangely weird cry? Sons of a mighty ocean, Waves of a boundless sea, 0 sing me your ceaseless story, 0 murmur it low to me. ■ * "MEKET GATE" (14).
