Have you seen the ocean, so pure and so blue,
Have you seen it meet the light sky?
Have you seen the bright fishes under the current,
Have you seen white seagulls fly?
Have you seen the hot golden sand on the shore,
Have you seen pink seashells so dry?
Have you seen a crab try to get his dinner?
Have you seen a coral die?
The mermaid turns to me, so lovely a face,
And she tells me with a sigh,
The seeing in my eyes was taken away,
Have you seen a mermaid cry?
