Moonlight shadow, moonlight shadow
I don't want to be mantled in you
cold and unfriendly as you are
chilled with the midnight dew
I want to have a sunbeam
clothed upon my shoulder,
little sis will hide her face
unless loving arms enfold her.
Sitting on a towel
down on Netley shore
eating bread and damson jam
hearking the old men snore.
Sifting through the shingle
in the afternoon sun
"a stone that's got a hole in it "
little sis says "is a lucky one."
Nobody ever says the sea is boring,
not the sailor, how would he?
who has spent his whole life
traversing Ol' Briny.
Freshing white, the breaker's foam
crested billow curl.
Waves, wave upon wave
beneath sky of blue or pearl.
