SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 109 by BLISS CARMAN

First Line: THREE THINGS THERE BE IN THE WORLD, YVONNE
Last Line: AND THE CURRENT THAT DRAWS BETWEEN.
Subject(s): LOVE;
Three things there be in the world, Yvonne;
And what do you guess they mean?
The stable land, the heaving sea,
And the tide that hangs between.
Three things there be in this life, Yvonne;
And what do you guess they mean?
Your sun-warm soul, my wind-swept soul,
And the current that draws between.
