La Mer

La Mer
The sea
That one sees dancing along the clear bays
Has silver reflections
The sea
Changing reflections
In the rain

The sea
Under the summer sky confuses
Its white horses
With angels so pure
The sea
Shepherdess of
The infinite sky
See
Near the ponds
Those tall, wet reeds
See
Those white birds
And those rusted houses
The sea
Has rocked them
Along the clear bays
And with a love song
The sea
Has rocked my heart for ever
