Ode To the Mermaid
Mermaid in the water low
Beneath the waning moon
Oh such beauty to bestow
Upon blind eyes that swoon.
They fancy that they know you
But never take the time
To stop trying to re-do
The vision in their mind
Of what they think you should be
Instead of what you are...
Mystic siren of the sea
That rides the second star.
