I

GAY are we and without care;
Cheerly, blithely, forth we fare;
Laugh we from the breaking wave,
Chaunt we from the echoing cave.

II

Corals, white as ocean foam,
Guard the treasures of our home;
Silver voices of the deep
Lull us in our tranquil sleep.

III

We who live in twilight bowers
Heed no murmur of the hours,
Pine not for new heavens, new earth—
Life was given for joy and mirth!

IV

Wizard Winter and Faery Spring
Wands of magic around us swing;
Siren Summer and Autumn lusk
Weave their spell in the rose-lit dusk.
