Songs Of
The Sea Children
I
These are the little songs
The wild sea children sang,
When the first gold arch of light
From rim to zenith sprang;
When all the glad clean joys
Of being came to birth,
Out of the darkling womb
Of the morning of the earth.
And these are the lyric songs
The earthborn children sing,
When wild-wood laughter throngs
The shy bird-throats of spring;
When there's not a joy of the heart
But flies like a flag unfurled,
And the swelling buds bring back
The April of the world.

These
are the April songs
The vernal children sing,
When the yellow pollen dust
Floats on the stream in spring;
When the swelling streams go down
Through the deep and grassy floors,
And the gold-fish and the turtle
Bask at their river doors.
And these are the innocent songs
The forest children sing,
When the whippoorwill's unrest
Is a pulse in the heart of spring;
When the dark of the frail new moon
Is a globe of dim sea green,
And no soul fears what its strange
Sea-memories may mean.

These
are the happy songs
The first sea children made,
When the red morning roused them
In the deep forest shade;
When Hillborn said to Seaborn,
"Sweetheart, but thou art fair!"
And the shining silver sea-mist
Made moonstones in her hair.
These are the lilting songs
The dark sea children knew,
When the sands emerged, and the sea
Was a lotus of Indian blue;
When, blossom by wind-blown blossom,
Their virginal zones undone,
The world was a wide sunflower
Turning her face to the sun.

These are the joyous songs
The shy sea children sing,
When the moon goes down the west,
Soft as a pale moth wing;
When the gnat and the bumblebee
In the gauze of sleep are fast,
And a fairy summer dream
Is the only thing will last.
These are the ever-songs
The heart of the sea will sing,
When ash-coloured birds are building,
And lilac thickets ring;

When
June is an open road
For every soul that stirs;
When scarlet voices summon,
And not a foot defers.
These are the twilight songs
Out of the simple North,
Where the marchers of the night
In silent troops go forth;
Where Alioth sails and sails
Forever round the pole,
And wonder brings no sad
Disquietude of soul.

And
all their bodily beauty
Must flower a moment and die,
As the rain goes down the sea-rim,
The streamers up the sky;
Till time as a falling echo
Shall sift them over and o'er,
And the wind between the stars
Can tell their words no more.
Yet the lyric beat and cry
Which frets the poor frail things
Shall pass from joy to joy
Up through a thousand springs,
Teasing the sullen years
Out of monotony,
As reedbirds pour their rapture
By the unwintered sea.
