SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 44 by BLISS CARMAN

First Line: WAIT FOR ME, CHERRYCHILD, WHEN THE BLUE DUSK
Last Line: CHILD, CHERRYCHILD.
Subject(s): LONGING;
Wait for me, Cherrychild, when the blue dusk
Falls from the silent star-spaces and fills
With utter peace the great heart of the hills,
Child, Cherrychild!
Call to me, Cherrychild, when the blue dusk
First throbs to passion among the dark hills,
In the brown throats of the lone whippoorwills,
Child, Cherrychild!
Come to me, Cherrychild, in the blue dusk!
Forlorn and loverless as the wild sea,
Long have I lain alone, longing for thee,
Child, Cherrychild.
