SEA THUNDER by HAROLD VINAL

First Line: GREEN WATER COVER ME
Last Line: AND LET ME SLEEP.
Subject(s): SEA; THUNDER; OCEAN;
Green water cover me,
Soft wave and sea thunder;
Let me slip to the tide
And be drawn under.

Nightly, the white sands slide;
Daily, the slow tides fall,
Wind is among the pines,
And the wind covers all.

Green water cover me,
Soft wave and sea thunder;
Let me slip to the tide
And be drawn under.

Slip, as an anchor slips
Into a shoal, a deep . . .
Green breaker cover me
And let me sleep.
