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. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A COTTAGE IN THE MIDST' by KENNETH REXROTH STILL ON WATER by KENNETH REXROTH THE LOVE POEMS OF MARICHIKO: 6 by KENNETH REXROTH REVELATION by LOUIS UNTERMEYER TO A FRIEND by JOHN GARDINER CALKINS BRAINARD PAX BRITANNICA by ALFRED AUSTIN A DULL DAY IN SEPTEMBER by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE |
