From this reading She is haunting and holding my heart with a strain, Where joy lies asleep in the shadow of pain; And the world that is under the sea Is spreading its pleasures and treasures to gain The love that lies dormant in me-- The love that I bear for the sea, For the secret and sorrowful sea; Is luring my feet from the gray land again And filling my soul with the scent of the main, The sound and the scent of the sea; And the speech of the siren is spoken in vain, For that mermaid is singing to me Of the world that is under the sea; And the love that I bear for the ocean again, For the mournful and mutable sea, Has taken possession of me: My heart is enmeshed in the mystical strain That mermaid is singing to me Of the world that lies under the sea.
