An activity like this, 'small and valuable',
just begins to walk and is already part of us.
Now we hope it enjoys of an intense and lengthy existence.
Oh! Hush thee, my baby, the night is behind us,
and black are the waters that sparkled so green.
The moon, o'er the combers, looks downward to find us,
at rest in the hollows that rustle between.
Where billow meets billow, then soft be thy pillow,
Oh weary wee flipperling, curl at thy ease!
The storm shall not wake thee, nor shark overtake thee,
asleep in the arms of the slow swinging seas.
"With all love and gratitude to those who have made possible
days of so much activity and good music..."
