Surf Song

My little one, come and listenTo the calling of the sea,And watch how the wet sands glistenWhere the surf has left them free.As thou and the wind togetherShall frolic along the strand;Thy feet as light as a featherWill hardly dent the sand.

Unwind the veils that enfold thee,Thou never wast shy with me;The sea will rejoice to hold thee,The stars will delight to see.The beauty thou shalt discoverOh, Morning Star of my heart,Will dazzle even thy loverWho knows how fair thou art!
