SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 19 by BLISS CARMAN

First Line: AS IF THE SEA'S ETERNAL ROTE
Last Line: AND CROONS THE GOLDEN DAYLIGHT DOWN.
Subject(s): SEA; OCEAN;
As if the sea's eternal rote
Might cease to set remembrance wild,
The breezy hair, the lyric throat
Were given to the surf-born child.
And the great forest found a voice
For her along the brookside brown,
That bids the purple dusk rejoice,
And croons the golden daylight down.
