CHEERFUL voices by the sea side	A
Echoed through the summer air	B
Happy children fresh and rosy	C
Sang and sported freely there	B
Often turning friendly glances	D
Where neglectful of them all	E
On his bed among the gray rocks	F
Mused the pale child little Paul	E
	-
For he never joined their pastimes	G
Never danced upon the sand	H
Only smiled upon them kindly	C
Only waved his wasted hand	H
Many a treasured gift they bore him	I
Best beloved among them all	E
Many a childish heart grieved sadly	C
Thinking of poor little Paul	E
	-
But while Florence was beside him	I
While her face above him bent	J
While her dear voice sounded near him	I
He was happy and content	J
Watching ever the great billows	K
Listening to their ceaseless fall	E
For they brought a pleasant music	L
To the ear of little Paul	E
	-
'Sister Floy ' the pale child whispered	M
'What is that the blue waves say	N
What strange message are they bringing	O
From that shore so far away	N
Who is dwelling in that country	C
Whence a low voice seems to call	E
Softly through the dash of waters	P
'Come away my little Paul' '	-
	-
But sad Florence could not answer	Q
Though her dim eyes tenderly	C
Watched the wistful face that ever	Q
Gazed across the restless sea	C
While the sunshine like a blessing	O
On his bright hair seemed to fall	E
And the winds grew more caressing	O
As they kissed frail little Paul	E
	-
Ere long paler and more wasted	R
On another bed he lay	N
Where the city's din and discord	S
Echoed round him day by day	N
While the voice that to his spirit	T
By the sea side seemed to call	E
Sounded with its tender music	L
Very near to little Paul	E
	-
As the deep tones of the ocean	U
Linger in the frailest shell	V
So the lonely sea side musings	W
In his memory seemed to dwell	V
And he talked of golden waters	P
Rippling on his chamber wall	E
While their melody in fancy	C
Cheered the heart of little Paul	E
	-
Clinging fast to faithful Florence	X
Murmuring faintly night and day	N
Of the swift and darksome river	Q
Bearing him so far away	N
Toward a shore whose blessed sunshine	Y
Seemed most radiantly to fall	E
On a beautiful mild spirit	T
Waiting there for little Paul	E
	-
So the tide of life ebbed slowly	C
Till the last wave died away	N
And nothing but the fragile wreck	Z
On the sister's bosom lay	N
And from out death's solemn waters	P
Lifted high above them all	E
In her arms the spirit mother	Q
Bore the soul of little Paul	E
