SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 41 by BLISS CARMAN

First Line: AS ORCHARDS IN AN APPLE LAND
Last Line: AS YOUR LONG KISSES SURGE AND CLIMB.
Subject(s): LOVE;
As orchards in an apple land,
That whiten to the moon of May,
Hear the first rainbird's ecstasy
Peal from the dark hills far away;
The wintry spaces of my soul,
Snowed under by the drift of time,
Feel immortality begin
As your long kisses surge and climb.
