The dance of Amphitrite I used to see When I lived by the sea Which in turn saw me With her ever azure eyes Below clouds, camphor-white
Her tides used to rise With the coming of the night And descend slowly With the advent of light
I was welcomed everyday By her king's white horses Who galloped by her bay I used to watch with wonder The seagulls by her quay
Zephyrus, the west wind Caressed her wavy locks, Composing mellifluous harmonies (The songs of the sea). He brought with himself, Ships, salts, sand And faraway lands' Numerous stories
The swash and backwash Were like the ballet of nature Performed by the sea Which I used to see As the sea saw me With her ever azure eyes As her tides used to rise Sometimes low, sometimes high
