It calls, and I can hear it even now The ocean, so grey deep and cold Its song, having a power over me Joined by a chorus from every sea A vast history of stories never told Keen to share as the ages will allow
A strong beat from the rising swell The crash of waves on every coast And foam almost makes a melody A herald of some strange harmony Lyrics that whisper at the very most But a haunting sound as all can tell
Verses in the to and fro of the tide Voices of anxiety to be understood From the depths, is its perturbation Yet from many, hiding a frustration To deliver a full concerto if it could But must leave it sealed deep inside
