THE PEARL.
(Japanese.)
The maple lifts her head,
Crowned with autumnal red,
Where I, who love the girl,
Plunge for the biggest pearl,
Down under the deep waves,
And round the hollow caves,
Where angry waters whirl.
Crowned with autumnal red,
Where I, who love the girl,
Plunge for the biggest pearl,
Down under the deep waves,
And round the hollow caves,
Where angry waters whirl.
“Wert thou a pearl,” she cried,
“I would clasp thee on my arm,
To protect me like a charm
From all the world beside.
I give my heart to thee,
Do thou give thine to me;
Be this the hour and place,
For on my lonely bed,
With the bride-wreath on my head,
I wait for thy embrace.”
“I would clasp thee on my arm,
To protect me like a charm
From all the world beside.
I give my heart to thee,
Do thou give thine to me;
Be this the hour and place,
For on my lonely bed,
With the bride-wreath on my head,
I wait for thy embrace.”
