| Mysterious Lady Grassy marsh and subtle swamp A serene and quiet ruse You seek to hide behind it; unventured and recluse. But countless know your secrets; have traveled far to learn your ways. Your gallant shield protects you not, defenseless to intrepid gaze. I wonder what awaits beyond this lull you cleverly display? Perhaps design and providence enlighten me someday. Mysterious Lady Ocean! Magnificent in humble dress! You peak disturbance in my soul and evoke a plaguing restlessness. |
