Under the Sea.

Topics: classic

Under the sea, the great wide sea         That sweeps the golden shore;     What treasures lie beneath the waves         Forevermore!     Ask of the winds, the sobbing winds         That toss the waves on high;     And fling the burden of their song         Unto the sky.     Ask of the stars, the jeweled stars         That sleep within the tide;     Like golden lilies floating far,         And swinging wide.     Ask of the clouds that drift at noon         In fadeless seas of blue,     And looking down see skies beneath         Of deeper hue.     Up in the sky, the golden clouds         Will never make reply;     Deep in the sea, the jeweled stars         In silence lie.     Under the sea, the great wide sea         That sweeps the golden shore,     Are secrets hidden from us now         And evermore.
