¶Lyrics / Text

From the green heart of the waters, We, old ocean's daughters, Have floated up with mortal man to play. Out ot he deep translucent night, Up to the purple earthly light, To dance with creatures of a day. For alas! we have seen the sailor asleep, Where the anchor rusts on the ooze of the deep, But never, never, never before Have we seen a mortal dance on the long seashore. See Ulysses, heavy and hire! Sing low, with downcast eyes, For he rouses at last, And his eyes are cast To the land where his spirit would be, Over the violet sea. Alas! for his arms that yearn, Alas! for the eyes that burn. Ulysses! Ulysses! ah!
