OCEAN WONDERS
Far below the purple waves,
In the hidden ocean caves,
Floating softly to and fro,
Wonder-creatures come and go.
Monsters hideous and queer,
Curious lovely shapes and dear
Dwell beneath the silent tide,
Where the rainbow fishes glide.
Who can say what things may be
In the mystic, magic sea?
In the depths so cool and green
Which no man has ever seen?
And what wonders happen there
Such as mortals may not share?
But a bit of pearly shell,
Or of sea-weed green, may tell
Just a hint of secret lore
As we walk along the shore.
