Song

When the gusty pearls of laughter yesterday rose from your house,
It was I who passed, beloved, in a boat upon the sea!
With my heart to far horizons sailing from you through the night,
It was I who passed, beloved, in a boat upon the sea!
There was deathless joy and pleasure yesterday in your carouse
Strains of music compassing the bay until the dawn;
As the melodies were raising and the waters paled with light,
It was I who passed, beloved, in a boat upon the sea!
