There are moments in life, when the heart is so full of emotion
that if by chance it be shaken, or into its depths like a pebble
Drops some careless word, it overflows, and its secret,
Spilled on the ground like water, can never be gathered together.

For the secret of the Sea,
And the heart of the great ocean
Sends a thrilling pulse through me.
