LITTLE maiden are you lonely, Standing there beside the sea, Are your blue eyes sad or only Filled with dreams too fair for me. Are the summer breezes making Fairy music on the sand, And the quiet ripples breaking, From some sea-girt fairy-land. Ah, the fragrant flowers never Fade in that sweet sunny air, And the fairy people ever Send you dreams and fancies rare. Little maiden, you must only Keep your blue eyes clear and free, And you never will be lonely, Standing there beside the sea. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AFFIRMATION by LOUIS UNTERMEYER LOVE by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE MONNA INNOMINATA, A SONNET OF SONNETS: 1 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI MICHAELMASSE by JOSEPH BEAUMONT PSALM 87 by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE STRANGER by HARRIET GRAY BLACKWELL SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 74 by BLISS CARMAN TOWARDS DEMOCRACY: PART 2.
