THE DEEP-SEA PEARL by EDITH MATILDA THOMAS

First Line: THE LOVE OF MY LIFE CAME NOT
Last Line: AND THE DEEP SEA COVERS ALL.
Subject(s): LIFE; LOVE; SEA; OCEAN;
THE love of my life came not
As love unto others is cast;
For mine was a secret wound --
But the wound grew a pearl, at last.

The divers may come and go,
The tides, they arise and fall;
The pearl in its shell lies sealed,
And the Deep Sea covers all.
