Song of the Wave

The strong shore is my beloved And I am his sweetheart We are at last united by love, and Then the moon draws me from him I go to him in haste and depart Reluctantly with many Little farewells I steal swiftly from behind the Blue horizon to cast the silver of My foam upon the gold of his sand and We blend in brilliance I go to him in haste and depart Reluctantly with many Little farewells Many times I danced around the mermaids as they Rose from the depths and rested Many times I heard the lovers complain of their Smallness. I helped them sigh Many times I teased the rocks and fondled them With a smile but Never. Never Many times I have stolen gems from the Depths and presented them to him He takes them in silence but still I give for he welcomes me ever I go to him in haste and depart Reluctantly with many Little farewells
