Red Surf
Red Surf
Water-witches wailing,
Hear them in the waves,
Toward them we are sailing,
Willing siren-slaves.
Soon our ships are crashing,
Crushed on fang-like rocks,
Shattering and smashing,
Feel the fatal shocks.
Lured by grotto lamp-fires,
Lulled by sweetest song,
Bled by mermaid vampires,
Thirsting in a throng.
(In memory of George Darley, 1795-1846)
