- Dolphins guard
thy infant slumbers,
- Davy Jones thy
sandman be,
- For thy father's
gone ahunting,
- In the jungles
of the sea
-
- Moonless nights
and sunless days
- Doth he stalk
the watery ways
- Where the pale
anemone
- Decks the gardens
of the sea,
-
- Where the coral's
lacy fan
- Waves in courts
unmarred by man
- Where the shark
and dolphin play
- There thy father
hunts his prey,
-
- Where the great
whales rise and blow,
- There thy father
tracks his foe,
- With periscope
for magic eye
- To watch the
ships go swiftly by,
-
- With darker magic
tuned to hear
- The pulse of
foeman drawing near.
- He'll come home
to thee at last,
- Broom triumphant
at the mast
-
- Dolphins guard
thy infant slumbers,
- Davy Jones thy
sandman be,
- Child of war
thy father's hunting
- In the jungles
of the sea.
