SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 33 by BLISS CARMAN

First Line: SWING DOWN, GREAT SUN, SWING DOWN
Last Line: WILL OPEN HER ARMS FOR ME.
Subject(s): LOVE;
Swing down, great sun, swing down,
And beat at the gates of day,
To open and let thee forth!
I would not have thee stay.
Swing up, dear stars, and shine
Over the baths of the sea!
To-night, my beautiful one
Will open her arms for me.
