We buried her out in the open sea, Far from the lights and the harbor bars, Deep in the waves where she longed to be, Under a sky of stars. The sea was tired and still that night, It took her in forevermore. Our boat that bore a crimson light Turned back to find the shore. And when we reached the restless quay Our hearts were envious of her Who lay too deep beneath the sea For any storm to stir. |
