St Elmo's Fire

He found her on the ledges, there So lashed unto a mast ... Seaweed twined through raven hair Moony gaze now naught but stares Sweet blushing bosom frozen, bare Death's wan, pearly caste ... All shimmering 'neath St. Elmo's Fire. He heard the shipwreck in the night Lamenting 'midst the gale ... Crashed to rocks with caps of white Torn beam-to-keel by stormy might Thunderous echoes pealed its plight To sing the siren's wail ... All shimmering 'neath St. Elmo's Fire. He'd said goodbye just days before A dream upon his lips ... With plans to marry and much more This bright, young lass he did adore That hence lay broken on this shore Within death's icy grips ... All shimmering 'neath St. Elmo's Fire. 'Twas strange to him this place allow Such wonder in daylight ... While there, amidst a shattered bow His dearest love, gone with their vow How could that peaceful beauty, now Hold such a horrid sight ... All shimmering 'neath St. Elmo's Fire?
