Thou coral blossom, flower of ocean's floor,
Thy petals pulse where sun may touch no more.
A ruby lantern in the siren's keep,
Where Neptune's treasures lie in endless sleep.
Art thou not proof that beauty knows no bound?
That ‘neath the waves fair Eden may be found?
Though land-born flowers bask in open day,
Thou burn’st unseen, and bloom’st thy secret way.

Thou coral blossom, flower of ocean's floor,
Thy petals pulse where sun may touch no more.
A ruby lantern in the siren's keep,
Where Neptune's treasures lie in endless sleep.
Art thou not proof that beauty knows no bound?
That ‘neath the waves fair Eden may be found?
Though land-born flowers bask in open day,
Thou burn’st unseen, and bloom’st thy secret way.
