Présentation de l'éditeur
Fierce Neptune sdaughter, beneath the water, In grottoes cool dwelt I, A nd, laughing, hid in the seashells lid, As fishes arrowed by. My feet were free to the undersea; I played amidst its gloom, And in the deep where the mermaids weep A bove the heros tomb, Where the sea snake strips dainty maiden lips Of kisses once so warm, And the lifeless child, by the eddies wild, Is torn from the mothers arm. The foam-browed billow my head would pillow Upon its bosom fair, While the restless sweep of the moon-led deep Would drift us here and there. I oft would float in the dainty boat The Nautilus oared for me, Out, far, far out, where a noisy rout Of breakers leapt in glee; Or further urge to the worlds dim verge, Where heaven meets the wave, And the seagulls wing was the only thing To follow us was brave.
