SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 32 by BLISS CARMAN

First Line: LOVE, LIFT YOUR LONGING FACE UP THROUGH THE RAIN!
Last Line: CALLS THE GREAT HEART OF THE SEA.
Subject(s): SEA; OCEAN;
Love, lift your longing face up through the rain!
In the white drench of it over the hills,
Blurring remembrance and quieting pain,
Stretch the strong hands of the sea.
Love, lift your longing face up through the rain!
In the bleak rote of it through the far hills,
Rhythmed to joy and untarnished of pain,
Calls the great heart of the sea.
