To Drown

She walks along the empty beach, She looks over the ocean, what does she? She sees a ship sailing by, But alas- just a trick of her eyes A single tear drips down her cheek And hits the sand beneath her feet. The sea breeze ruffles her linen gown And draws her to the water, the water to drown.
