The pearly treasures of the sea, br The lights that spatter heaven above, br More precious than these wonders are br My heart-of-hearts filled with your love. br br The ocean's power, the heavenly sights br Cannot outweigh a love filled heart. br And sparkling stars or glowing pearls br Pale as love flashes, beams and darts. br br So, little, youthful maiden come br Into my ample, feverish heart br For heaven and earth and sea and sky br Do melt as love has melt my heart. br br The following English translation of 'The Sea Hath its Pearls' was composed by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882). br br The Sea Hath Its Pearls br br The sea hath its pearls, br The heaven hath its stars; br But my heart, my heart, br My heart hath its love. br br Great are the sea, and the heaven; br Yet greater is my heart, br And fairer than pearls or stars br Flashes and beams my love.
