Songs of the Sea Children
VI. ‘Love, by that loosened hair’
By Bliss Carman (1861–1929)
 
LOVE, by that loosened hair,
  Well now I know
Where the lost Lilith went
  So long ago.
 
Love, by those starry eyes        5
  I understand
How the sea maidens lure
  Mortals from land.
 
Love, by that welling laugh
  Joy claims its own        10
Sea-born and wind-wayward
  Child of the sun.
