"Where Corals Lie" is a poem by Richard Garnett which was set to music by Sir Edward Elgar as the fourth song in his song-cycle ''Sea Pictures''. The poem was first published in ''Io in Egypt and other poems'' in 1859 and subsequently anthologized in ''Sea Music'' in 1888. ==Lyrics== (Italicised text indicates lines repeated in the song, but not in the original poem.) The deeps have music soft and low When winds awake the airy spry, It lures me, lures me on to go And see the land where corals lie. ''The land, the land, where corals lie.'' By mount and mead, by lawn and rill, When night is deep, and moon is high, That music seeks and finds me still, And tells me where the corals lie. ''And tells me where the corals lie.'' Yes, press my eyelids close, 'tis well, ''Yes, press my eyelids close, 'tis well'', But far the rapid fancies fly To rolling worlds of wave and shell, And all the land where corals lie. Thy lips are like a sunset glow, Thy smile is like a morning sky, Yet leave me, leave me, let me go And see the land where corals lie. ''The land, the land, where corals lie.'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Where Corals Lie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
