A PEARL DIVER.
Soul of Jacoba, come forth from your shell,
My pearl of the Deep where you darklingly dwell,
The Diver hath found you, the secret is shown,
Never again will you nestle unknown;
Nevermore feel in your loneness alone!
My pearl of the Deep where you darklingly dwell,
The Diver hath found you, the secret is shown,
Never again will you nestle unknown;
Nevermore feel in your loneness alone!
Soul of Jacoba, arise and shine
From the sea-green depths of her eyes divine;
Soul of Jacoba, come forth and play
In the pale still face with a roseate ray,
And a smile that shall turn all the dark into day!
From the sea-green depths of her eyes divine;
Soul of Jacoba, come forth and play
In the pale still face with a roseate ray,
And a smile that shall turn all the dark into day!
My Pearl! that I saw by her own soft light;
My Pearl that bejewelled the gloom of her night,
The secretly precious, the hiddenly rare;
A prize to be won for the worthiest wear;
My Pearl shall be set with the first of the fair!
My Pearl that bejewelled the gloom of her night,
The secretly precious, the hiddenly rare;
A prize to be won for the worthiest wear;
My Pearl shall be set with the first of the fair!
