SHE walks beside the silent shore	A
The tide is high the breeze is still	B
No ripple breaks the ocean floor	A
The sunshine sleeps upon the hill	B
	-
The turf is warm beneath her feet	C
Bordering the beach of stone and shell	D
And thick about her path the sweet	C
Red blossoms of the pimpernel	D
	-
O sleep not yet my flower she cries	E
Nor prophesy of storm to come	F
Tell me that under steadfast skies	E
Fair winds shall bring my lover home	G
	-
She stoops to gather flower and shell	D
She sits and smiling studies each	H
She hears the full tide rise and swell	D
And whisper softly on the beach	H
	-
Waking she dreams a golden dream	I
Remembering with what still delight	J
To watch the sunset s fading gleam	I
Here by the waves they stood last night	J
	-
She leans on that encircling arm	K
Divinely strong with power to draw	L
Her nature as the moon doth charm	K
The swaying sea with heavenly law	L
	-
All lost in bliss the moments glide	M
She feels his whisper his caress	N
The murmur of the mustering tide	M
Brings her no presage of distress	N
	-
What breaks her dream She lifts her eyes	E
Reluctant to destroy the spell	D
The color from her bright cheek dies	E
Close folded is the pimpernel	D
	-
With rapid glance she scans the sky	O
Rises a sudden wind and grows	P
And charged with storm the cloud heaps lie	O
Well may the scarlet blossoms close	Q
	-
A touch and bliss is turned to bale	D
Life only keeps the sense of pain	R
The world holds naught save one white sail	D
Flying before the wind and rain	R
Broken upon the wheel of fear	S
She wears the storm vexed hour away	T
And now in gold and fire draws near	S
The sunset of her troubled day	T
	-
But to her sky is yet denied	M
The sun that lights the world for her	U
She sweeps the rose flushed ocean wide	M
With eager eyes that quick tears blur	U
	-
And lonely lonely all the space	V
Stretches with never sign of sail	D
And sadder grows her wistful face	V
And all the sunset splendors fail	D
	-
And cold and pale in still despair	W
With heavier grief than tongue can tell	D
She sinks upon her lips a prayer	W
Her cheek against the pimpernel	D
	-
Wee blossoms wet with showery tears	X
On her shut eyes their droplets shed	Y
Only the wakened waves she hears	Z
That singing drown his rapid tread	Y
	-
'Sweet I am here ' Joy s gates swing wide	M
And heaven is theirs and all is well	D
And left beside the ebbing tide	M
Forgotten is the pimpernel	D
