Ocean
O pearl of life,O eye of world !
From hand of Lord on Earth thou drop
The sailors , nymphs ,the lady bird
All day and night harvest thy crop
By which magic in world thou flow?
Who writes on thy waves tales of woe?
Thy silver waves all night they moan
And break their heads on wide wide shore
Thy treasures, temples, caves He own
Thy phantoms ships , thy gems, thy roar
His angels worship on Thy hills
The sun sand worships Him on shore
O largest canvas of this world
O hue of sky and meadow green
He looked at thee From Eden world
And paint on Thee His Heaven's scene
Thy mighty waves, unfathom deep
Why break thee at the shores all life
Who left thee that Thou moan doth so
Is far off goddess moon thy wife?
I fear thee ocean far and wide!
I fear thy waves who moan all night!
I fear the depth of thy green wounds!
I fear thy salty watery sight!
Thou mighty , vast , unfathomed deep
Who lives in castles of thy heart?
Who rows there boats in stormy night?
Whom air in moonlit chariots brought ?
Thy scary width thy Holy charm
With magic pen who on thee wrought?
Oh thou the sacred Tear of world
With grief thy sandy shores are fraught!
