Sea-shell

C. Engel

Sea-shell, Sea-shell,

Sing me a song, oh! Please!

A song of ships, and of sailormen,

And parrots, and tropical trees;

Of islands lost in the Spanish Main,

Which no man ever may find again,

Of fishes and corals under the waves,

And seahorses stabled in great green caves.

Oh, Sea-shell, Sea-shell,

Sing of the things you know so well.
