SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 91 by BLISS CARMAN

First Line: OUT OF THE FLOOR OF THE GREENISH SEA
Last Line: BY A LOVE-LIGHT QUIET AND WONDERFUL.
Subject(s): LOVE;

Out of the floor of the greenish sea
Flowers the scarlet moon,
Thrusting the tip of her budding lip
Through its watery sheath in the waiting June.
Out of the grey of forgotten things
My heart shall arise at full,
And illumine space to find your face
By a love-light quiet and wonderful.
