Your lovely hands, Your lovely tender hands! Reflections of what grace what heavenly joy predicted for the world in knowing you blest, as am I, and humbled by such ecstasy.

Language: English
Come with us and play! See, we have breasts as women! From your tents by the sea Come play with us: it is forbidden! Come with us and play! Lo, bare, straight legs in the water! By our boats we stay, Then swimming away Come to us: it is forbidden! Come with us and play! See, we are tall as women! Our eyes are keen: Our hair is bright: Our voices speak outright: We revel in the sea's green! Come play: It is forbidden!
