Soothed within it`s scythe of sand

The docile sea dozed at her feet,

Scarce a breeze disturbed the land

And the distance was a hush of heat.

 

The sun`s light shimmering from the skies,

Lit the bay-sea green and blue,

And glimmering down her deeps of eyes

Lit her guileless soul all through.

 

She stood where land and water meet

Erect in all her simple charms

While Neptune, gently, at her feet

Laid his long salaams.

 

She offered me her hand and I

Helped her climb the grassy slope,

Where she took possession of the sky

And wore it`s azure cope.

 

Since then my heart is captive still,

And will forever ever be

Carol`s…of the high green hill,

Queen of the sunlit sea.
