A message in a bottle,
Floating at the beach,
Brought by evening tide,
To my eager reach;
"I fear I am lost at sea,
Pray, take pity on me,
My heart sank too deep,
In endless daylight sleep,
My mind was drowned
By sweet waves of sound,
That came from her lips
Like Greek Fire to ships,
Just like a mermaid,
She took me from land,
Quite why I love her,
I don't understand...."
I threw that bottle
Back into the deep,
Leaving that fellow
For the ocean to keep.
