Page:Songs of Sea and Sail.djvu/16

 A grief that is grieving my life again, A thought that I thought, forever had lain,
 * And never come back to me,

Is searching my soul in that mermaid's strain
 * And bringing a sorrow to me
 * From the world that lies under the sea.

Oh, what comes flowing over the sea
 * In the hush of the evening's cool?

It is a mermaid singing to me
 * As she sits in a silver pool.
