First Line: Fashion the feel of it
Last Line: Fog horn at night.
Subject(s): Sea; Ocean
Fashion the feel of it,
Eerie appeal of it
Into a song
Hurting the heart of me, till it's part of me
All the night long.
Haunting the wail of it,
What is the tale of it:
Why does it creep
Out of the fog and gloom, into my quiet room
Making me weep?
Voice of unspoken things,
Shadowy broken things
Fallen in flight --
Out from the hidden sea, dreary mist-ridden sea,
Fog horn at night.
