Grey rocks and greyer sea See original
Language: English
Grey rocks, and greyer sea, And surf along the shore -- And in my heart a name My lips shall speak no more. The high and lonely hills Endure the darkening year -- And in my heart endure A mem'ry and a tear. Across the tide a sail That tosses, and is gone -- And in my heart the kiss That longing dreams upon. Grey rocks, and greyer sea, And surf along the shore -- And in my heart the face That I shall see no more.
