little one, come and listen To the calling of the sea, And watch how the wet sands glisten Where the surf has left them free. As thou and the wind together Shall frolic along the strand; Thy feet as light as a feather Will 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 discover Oh, Morning Star of my heart, Will dazzle even thy lover Who knows how fair thou art! 2
