A Sea Child
A Sea Child
Original Text
Bliss Carman, Low Tide on Grand Pré: A Book of Lyrics (New York: C. L. Webster, 1893), p. 55. B-11 7495 Fisher Library.
1The lover of child Marjory
2 Had one white hour of life brim full;
3Now the old nurse, the rocking sea,
4 Hath him to lull.
5The daughter of child Marjory
6 Hath in her veins, to beat and run,
7The glad indomitable sea,
8 The strong white sun.
