So comes the tide
Again
Pushing back the river
So fast it comes
Again
Racing across the sands
So smooth and oily-slick
Again
******* down the ore-stones
So relentless
Again
Driven on by the moon
And so goes the half day
Again
Twelve hours or so in going
And so the earth stained water
Again
Floods through the channel
And so will it be
Again
Until the top of tide
And so will come the ebbing
Again
Waters racing back to the deep
Forever wheeling Spring and Neap
Forever turning moon and sun
Forever till time is done.
