Lady of the White Castles
There, walking the blue border of the sea;
Walking ocean's tremulous boundary,
Between two half worlds, in her reign she roamed
Amidst the gathering towers of foam
Soft turning; the old pages of the sea
Calling, till her calls pleasure came to be
As the ocean sculpted a Kingdom grand,
And high castles were raised on golden sand
She stood, where sweet the flowing balm of tide;
Where great spires of ocean foam rising high
Oft she travelled 'cross the glittering shore
Where winds from the east, cast white castles more
They towered and gleamed in the morning sun;
They lived but one breath, but oh in that one;
In their passing empires of curling cloud,
In their white maned ambition swelling proud;
Rising to the courts of an earthern queen;
Knowing heaven in the goddess they'd seen,
They lived for her smile, then to green sea fell
Home to the deep, of their lady to tell..
