By the sea....

The Sea Spirit

 by 

Lucy Maud Montgomery

I smile o'er the wrinkled blue­

                                     Lo! the sea is fair, Smooth as the flow of a maiden's hair;

And the welkin's light shines through 

Into mid-sea caverns of beryl hue,

And the little waves laugh and the mermaids sing,

And the sea is a beautiful, sinuous thing!

When moonlight glimmers dim
I pass in the path of the mist,
Like a pale spirit by spirits kissed.
At dawn I chant my own weird hymn,
And I dabble my hair in the sunset's rim,
And I call to the dwellers along the shore
With a voice of gramarye evermore.

I scowl in sullen guise­
The sea grows dark and dun,
The swift clouds hide the sun
But not the bale-light in my eyes,
And the frightened wind as it flies
Ruffles the billows with stormy wing,
And the sea is a terrible, treacherous thing!

 And if one for love of me

                                          Gives to my call an ear, I will woo him and hold him dear,

And teach him the way of the sea,

And my glamour shall ever over him be;

Though he wander afar in the cities of men

He will come at last to my arms again.

 everything loves the sea
