The pearly treasures of the sea

The lights that spatter heaven above

More precious than these wonders areMy heart-of-hearts filled with your love.

The ocean's power, the heavenly sights

Cannot outweigh a love filled heart.

And sparkling stars or glowing pearls

Pale as love flashes, beams and darts.

So, little, youthful maiden come

Into my ample, feverish heart

For heaven and earth and sea and sky

Do melt as love hath melt my heart.

A New Life
