| Give me the sunlight and the sea | B |
| And who shall take my heaven from me | B |
| - | |
| Light of the Sun Life of the Sun | C |
| O happy bold companion | C |
| Whose golden laughters round me run | C |
| Making wine of the blue air | D |
| With wild rose kisses everywhere | D |
| Browning the limb flushing the cheek | E |
| Apple fragrant leopard sleek | E |
| Dancing from thy red curtained East | F |
| Like a Nautch girl to my feast | F |
| Proud because her lord the Spring | G |
| Praised the way those anklets ring | G |
| Or wandering like a white Greek maid | H |
| Leaf dappled through the dancing shade | H |
| Where many a green veined leaf imprints | I |
| Breast and limb with emerald tints | I |
| That softly net her silken shape | J |
| But let the splendour still escape | J |
| While rosy ghosts of roses flow | K |
| Over the supple rose and snow | K |
| - | |
| But sweetest fairest is thy face | L |
| When we meet when we embrace | L |
| Where the white sand sleeps at noon | M |
| Round that lonely blue lagoon | M |
| Fringed with one white reef of coral | N |
| Where the sea birds faintly quarrel | N |
| And the breakers on the reef | O |
| Fade into a dream of grief | O |
| And the palm trees overhead | P |
| Whisper that all grief is dead | P |
| - | |
| Sister Sunlight lead me then | Q |
| Into thy healing seas again | Q |
| For when we swim out side by side | R |
| Like a lover with his bride | R |
| When thy lips are salt with brine | S |
| And thy wild eyes flash in mine | S |
| The music of a mightier sea | B |
| Beats with my blood in harmony | B |
| I breast the primal flood of being | G |
| Too clear for speech too near for seeing | G |
| And to his heart new reconciled | T |
| The Eternal takes his earth bound child | T |
| - | |
| Who the essential secret spells | U |
| In those gigantic syllables | V |
| Flowing ebbing ebbing flowing | G |
| Gathers wisdom past all knowing | G |
| Song of the Sea I hear I hear | W |
| That deeper music of the sphere | X |
| Catch the rhythm of sun and star | Y |
| And know what light and darkness are | Y |
| Ay faint beginnings of a rhyme | Z |
| That swells beyond the tides of time | Z |
| Beat with thy rhythm in blood and breath | A2 |
| And make one song of life and death | A2 |
| I hear I hear and rest content | B2 |
| Merged in the primal element | C2 |
| The old element whence life arose | D2 |
| The fount of youth to which it goes | D2 |
| - | |
| Give me the sunlight and the sea | B |
| And who shall take my heaven from me | B |
