The song—the song!—it was warbled by lips
Sweet as whatever the honey-bee sips—
And where?
By the Sea—by the Sea—for no region can be
So fit for a Spirit divine, as the Sea—
Play-ground of the winds, the limitless place
Where they love the white foam of the billows to chase—
'Twas there.
But the song—the song!—by a Spirit 'twas sung,
And these the wild notes o'er the waters that rung:
Sweet as whatever the honey-bee sips—
And where?
By the Sea—by the Sea—for no region can be
So fit for a Spirit divine, as the Sea—
Play-ground of the winds, the limitless place
Where they love the white foam of the billows to chase—
'Twas there.
But the song—the song!—by a Spirit 'twas sung,
And these the wild notes o'er the waters that rung:
