The waves speak quietly to me 
When the tempest sleeps deep beneath. 
I wish that I could give to you 
The sun before it weds the west. 
My tears mingle soft with the sea 
Though I dream that you could taste them. 
Lay with me our bridal bed 
Dance a moonlit path thereon 
Lay with me above the dead 
That drift with tides kiss upon. 
My undine beauty, thou hast seen 
The coral kingdoms, silence, peace 
The moon and stars I would forsake 
To gaze into thy starry eyes 
The azure sky seems not so deep 
As azure oceans, amidst sleep.
