Low-Tide lyrics

These wet rocks where the tide has been,
         Barnacled white and weeded brown
And slimed beneath to a beautiful green,
         These wet rocks where the tide went down
Will show again when the tide is high
         Faint and perilous, far from shore,
No place to dream, but a place to die,—
         The bottom of the sea once more.
There was a child that wandered through
         A giant's empty house all day,—
House full of wonderful things and new,
         But no fit place for a child to play.
