Agatha tell me does thy heart not acheA
Plunged in this squalid city's filthy seaB
For another ocean where the splendours breakA
Blue clear and deep as is virginityB
Agatha tell me does thy heart not acheA
-
The sea the sea unending comforts usC
What demon gave the hoarse old sea who singsD
To her mumbling hurricanes' organ thunderousC
The god like power to cradle sorrowful thingsD
The sea the sea unending comforts usC
-
Carry me wagon bear me barque awayE
Far Far For here the mud is made of tearsF
Does Agatha's sad heart not sometimes sayE
O far from shudderings and crimes and fearsG
Carry me wagon bear me barque awayE
-
How far thou art O scented paradiseH
O paradise where all is love and joyI
Where all is worthy love 'neath the azure skiesJ
And the heart drowns in bliss without alloyI
How far thou art O scented paradiseH
-
But the green paradise of childish lovesK
The games the songs the kisses and the flowersL
The laughing draughts of wine in hidden grovesM
The violins throbbing through the twilight hoursL
But the green paradise of childish lovesK
-
The artless paradise of stealthy joysN
Is that already leagues beyond CathayE
And can one with a little plaintive noiseN
Bring it again that is so far awayE
The artless paradise of stealthy joysN

John Collings Squire, Sir
