Come Back to the Kind Sea-caves!

 Come back to the kind sea-caves!


So the sad Merman says,


To the human Margaret,


His beautiful wife, his beloved.


 

Alas! Once she goes to pray,


Does not feel like returning to the bay,


Where the Merman and the children,


Kept coming over and over again.


 

The sad hearts got sadder,


Being selfish, leaving forever!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The title has been taken form one of the lines of Matthew Arnold’s poem “The Forsaken Merman”.
