lirik lagu ghizela rowe - alfred lord tennyson - the mermaid
who would be
a mermaid fair
singing alone
combing her hair
under the sea
in a golden curl
with a comb of pearl
on a throne?
i would be a mermaid fair;
i would sing to myself the whole of the day;
with a comb of pearl i would comb my hair;
and still as i comb’d i would sing and say
who is it loves me? who loves not me?
i would comb my hair till my ringlets would fall
low adown, low adown
from under my starry sea~bud crown
low adown and around
and i should look like a fountain of gold
springing alone
with a shrill inner sound
over the throne
in the midst of the hall;
till that great sea~snake under the sea
from his coiled sleeps in the central deeps
would slowly trail himself sevenfold
round the hall where i sate, and look in at the gate
with his large calm eyes for the love of me
and all the mermen under the sea
would feel their immortality
die in their hearts for the love of me
but at night i would wander away, away
i would fling on each side my low~flowing locks
and lightly vault from the throne and play
with the mermen in and out of the rocks;
we would run to and fro, and hide and seek
on the broad sea~wolds in the crimson sh~lls
whose silvery spikes are nighest the sea
but if any came near i would call, and shriek
and adown the steep like a wave i would leap
from the diamond~ledges that jut from the dells;
for i would not be kiss’d by all who would list
of the bold merry mermen under the sea;
they would sue me, and woo me, and flatter me
in the purple twilights under the sea;
but the king of them all would carry me
woo me, and win me, and marry me
in the branching jaspers under the sea;
then all the dry pied things that be
in the hueless mosses under the sea
would curl round my silver feet silently
all looking up for the love of me
and if i should carol aloud, from aloft
all things that are forked, and h~rned, and soft
would lean out from the hollow sphere of the sea
all looking down for the love of me
