FAIR SEA!
Fair Sea! Fair Sea! how brightly now
Thou wearest young morning on thy brow,
While all thy living things rejoice,
With vigour free, without a voice,
Shoals of gay dolphins there are sporting,
On bluest waves, that seem retorting
The sunbeams back unto the sky,
With keener, lovelier radiancy!
Thou wearest young morning on thy brow,
While all thy living things rejoice,
With vigour free, without a voice,
100
On bluest waves, that seem retorting
The sunbeams back unto the sky,
With keener, lovelier radiancy!
Fair Sea! fair Sea! how brightly now
Thou wearest young morning on thy brow,
She seems in truth thy child to be,
Like Cytherea—sprung from thee;
With all her beauty clad victorious,
Resplendent with fair aspect glorious!
Morning thou seemest brighter even,
Glassed by this Sea, than thron'd in Heaven!
Thou wearest young morning on thy brow,
She seems in truth thy child to be,
Like Cytherea—sprung from thee;
With all her beauty clad victorious,
Resplendent with fair aspect glorious!
Morning thou seemest brighter even,
Glassed by this Sea, than thron'd in Heaven!
