I made love to the sea through thee ;
I made love to the sea.
In coming and going,
I set my heart upon the waves
and words cast out to please thee
whose nets did draw the water's welcome
before I came to tease thee.
I made love to the sea through thee ;
I made love to the sea.
Nor here nor there,
the sea will 'test,
my heart is ever wandering.
The kisses of thy fairy lips
did ever set me pondering.
I made love to the sea through thee ;
I made love to the sea.
Your heart was weird,
your heart was soft,
we often shared our dreams.
The memory of the love we shared
is not less than it seems.
I made love to the sea through thee ;
I made love to the sea.
It seems at loss,
an exile now,
my heart may ever be.
The sound of singing
waves does sting
and make me think of thee.
I made love to the sea through thee ;
I made love to the sea.
I made love to the sea through thee ;
I made love to the sea.
