A man is blest when he can see br The splendor in the restless sea -- br To feel her touch and hear the tone br That speak to us when we're alone. br She tells of strength - unwavering will br Of tenderness, of power to kill br Consumes the vain, denies the bold br And keeps her story much untold, br She counts no years, reveres no name br Forever changing, yet the same br She reaches out her beckon hand br To touch the shores of every land. br In common tongue she speaks to all br Who hear the sound and heed the call br What does she say to you and me br Of life and love and destiny? br She gives to each a secret key br And no one else can hear but thee.br br Floyd A.
