[Deep down, deep down, deep, deep, deep]
Deep down, deep down, deep, deep, deep!Follow us! come with us!—See how we leap!
Daughters of Æger, veiled white with the spray,
Beckoning, calling you. Oh, come away!
18
Dwell in Ran's realms of cerulean hue;
Where through her caverns of green and of blue
Echo our songs, our songs of the sea,
Dirging the dead, the sailors who sleep
Deep down, deep down, deep, deep, deep!
Come, where the dulse and the nautilus cling!
Come away, come away, here where we sing!
Where of your eyes we will fashion pale homes,
Hollow, for pearls and the glimmering foams.
