THE SIREN

Follow, follow me

Over the breast of the pensive sea,

Where gulls wheel skyward in hoarse affright,

Where waves strain upward toward the light,

Where sobbing winds chant minstrelsy

Follow, follow me.

 

Follow, follow me.

The bards in the sea-caves sing of glee

In halls of orient, gleaming pearl,

With roofs of coral.   The billows swirl

And rush in chaotic vandalry

Follow, follow me.

 

Follow, follow me,

The parting waters make passage free,

The drowsy hum of mermaid's song

In wailing cadence echoes long,

 

And Neptune dreams of the Potent Three

Follow, follow me.

-A. B. KROCH.

The "Potent Three" are Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto.
