|
Long afloat on shipless oceans I did all my best to smile |
|
Till your singing eyes and fingers drew me loving to your isle |
|
And you sang, "Sail to me Sail to me let me enfold you |
|
Here I am Here I am Waiting to hold you" |
|
|
|
Did I dream you dreamed about me? Were you hare when I was fox? |
|
Now my foolish boat is leaning broken lovelorn on your rocks, |
|
For you sing, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow: |
|
Oh my heart, Oh my heart shies from the sorrow" |
|
|
|
I am puzzled as the newborn child I am troubled at the tide: |
|
Should I stand amid the breakers? Should I lie with Death my bride? |
|
Hear me sing, "Swim to me, Swim to me, Let me enfold you: |
|
Here I am, Here I am, Waiting to hold you" |
