THE DEEP-SEA PEARL, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The love of my life came not
Last Line: And the deep sea covers all.
Subject(s): Life; Love; Sea; Ocean


THE love of my life came not
As love unto others is cast;
For mine was a secret wound --
But the wound grew a pearl, at last.

The divers may come and go,
The tides, they arise and fall;
The pearl in its shell lies sealed,
And the Deep Sea covers all.
