THE SEA

 

 

Beside the shore  all alone .
I  look  at the wide , wide sea .
Sitting  recline on a big stone
I listen to the waves and the sea.
 
 
The waves , they break into ripples . 
And their  wavelets  are like  dimples .
Below the blue sky , the sea gulls fly .
One calls  and the rest  reply .
 
 
I say to the waves ,"  Stay ! stay  !
Let me play with you today . "
Away they roll one splash after the other
Not a second delay !
 
 
It is rushing , tearing  all day and night ,
The sea of great might !
Now they come up , now they go down !
The waves shatter the silence of the sky !
 
 
The sea is bright in  the  dancing  light.
Of a million ,million  gleams.
It fills my heart with delight
And  rocks me in my dreams .
