The Song of the Sirens
.
Come where the woods are wooing
With fragrant flowers and fair ;
Come where the doves are cooing
Love notes on every air.
Come where the wave is strewing
With pink-lipped shells the shore ;
Come where the tide is flowing
O’er golden-sanded floor.
Come where the sunlight straying
Mellows us as we swim ;
Come where the waters playing
Dimple each rosy limb.
Come to us, come where never
North wind unkindly blows ;
Come to us, come and ever
Here in our arms repose.
Come where no storms are breaking,
Come where no tempests rend ;
Come where love knows no
waking,
Come where love knows no
end.
