THE SIREN

 

Follow, follow me
Over the breast of the pensive sea,
Where gulls wheel skyward in hoarse affright,
Where waves strain upward toward the light,
Where sobbing winds chant minstrelsy
Follow, follow me.
 
Follow, follow me.
The bards in the sea-caves sing of glee
In halls of orient, gleaming pearl,
With roofs of coral.   The billows swirl
And rush in chaotic vandalry
Follow, follow me.
 
Follow, follow me,
The parting waters make passage free,
The drowsy hum of mermaid's song
In wailing cadence echoes long,
And Neptune dreams of the Potent Three
Follow, follow me.
  -A. B. KROCH  


** The "Potent Three" are Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto.
