Pearl Iridescent! Pearl of the sea!     Shimmering, glimmering Pearl of the sea!     White in the sun-flecked Silver Sea,     White in the moon-decked Silver Sea,     White in the wrath of the Silver Sea,--     Pearl of the Silver Sea!     Lapped in the smile of the Silver Sea,     Ringed in the foam of the Silver Sea,     Glamoured in mists of the Silver Sea,--     Pearl of the Silver Sea!     Glancing and glimmering under the sun.     Jewel and casket all in one,     Joy supreme of the sun's day dream,     Soft in the gleam of the golden beam,--     Pearl of the Silver Sea!     Splendour of Hope in the rising sun,     Glory of Love in the noonday sun,     Wonder of Faith in the setting sun,--     Pearl of the Silver Sea!     Gaunt and grim to the outer world,     Jewel and casket all impearled     With the kiss of the Silver Sea!--     With the flying kiss of the Silver Sea,     With the long sweet kiss of the Silver Sea,     With the rainbow kiss of the Silver Sea,--     Pearl of the Silver Sea!     And oh the sight,--the wonderful sight,     When calm and white, in the mystic light     Of her quivering pathway, broad and bright,     The Queen of the Night, in silver dight,     Sails over the Silver Sea!     Wherever I go, and wherever I be,     The joy and the longing are there with me,--     The gleam and the glamour come back to me,--     In a mystical rapture there comes to me,     The call of the Silver Sea!     As needle to pole is my heart to thee,     Pearl of the Silver Sea!
