Edward MacDowell - The Sea
30
Copied!
One sails away to sea, to sea
One stands on the shore and cries;
The ship goes down the world, and the light
On the sullen water dies
The whispering shell is mute
And after is evil cheer;
She shall stand on the shore and cry in vain
Many and many a year
But the stately wide-winged ship
Lies wrecked, lies wrecked on the unknown deep;
Far under, dead on his coral bed
The lover lies asleep
One stands on the shore and cries;
The ship goes down the world, and the light
On the sullen water dies
The whispering shell is mute
And after is evil cheer;
She shall stand on the shore and cry in vain
Many and many a year
But the stately wide-winged ship
Lies wrecked, lies wrecked on the unknown deep;
Far under, dead on his coral bed
The lover lies asleep
