lirik lagu samuel coleridge-taylor - sea drift, op. 69
see where she stands, on the wet sea~sands
looking across the water:
wild is the night, but wilder still
the face of the fisher’s daughter
what does she there, in the lightning’s glare
what does she there, i wonder?
what dread demon drags her forth
in the night and wind and thunder?
is it the ghost that haunts this coast? ~~
the cruel waves mount higher
and the beacon pierces the stormy dark
with its javelin of fire
beyond the light of the beacon bright
a merchantman is tacking;
the ho~rs~ wind whistling through the shrouds
and the brittle topmasts cracking
the sea it moans over dead men’s bones
the sea it foams in anger;
the curlews swoop through the resonant air
with a warning cry of danger
the star~fish clings to the sea~weed’s rings
in a vague, dumb sense of peril;
and the spray, with its phantom~fingers, grasps
at the mullein dry and sterile
o, who is she that stands by the sea
in the lightning’s glare, undaunted? ~~
seems this now like the coast of h~ll
by one white spirit haunted!
the night drags by; and the breakers die
along the ragged ledges;
the robin stirs in his drenchéd nest
the hawth~rn blooms on the hedges
in shimmering lines, through the dripping pines
the stealthy morn advances;
and the heavy sea~fog straggles back
before those bristling lances
still she stands on the wet sea~sands;
the morning breaks above her
and the corpse of a sailor gleams on the rocks ~~
what if it were her lover?
