the seal man - rebecca clarke lyrics

and he came by her cabin to the west of the road, calling
there was a strong love came up in her at that
and she put down her sewing on the table, and “mother,” she says
“there’s no lock, and no key, and no bolt, and no door
there’s no iron, nor no stone, nor anything at all
will keep me this night from the man i love.”
and she went out into the moonlight to him
there by the bush where the flow’rs is pretty, beyond the river
and he says to her: “you are all of the beauty of the world
will you come where i go, over the waves of the sea?”
and she says to him: “my treasure and my strength,” she says
“i would follow you on the frozen hills, my feet bleeding.”
then they went down into the sea together
and the moon made a track [upon]1 the sea, and they walked down it;
it was like a flame before them. there was no fear at all on her;
only a great love like the love of the old ones
that was stronger than the touch of the fool
she had a little white throat, and little cheeks like flowers
and she went down into the sea with her man
who wasn’t a man at all
she was drowned, of course
it’s like he never thought that she wouldn’t bear the sea like himself
she was drowned, drowned
