SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 16 by BLISS CARMAN

First Line: AN UNSEEN HAND WENT OVER THE HILL
Last Line: "AND HER WINDOW WAITS FOR THEE!"
Subject(s): LOVE;

An unseen hand went over the hill,
And lit the cresset stars,
And below the summer sea was strewn
With mysterious nenuphars.
The little wind of twilight came
With the gladdest of words to me,
"The tide is full, the night is fair,
And Her window waits for thee!"
