The Gift Of The Sea - Neutral

The dead child lay in the shroud

And the widow watched beside

And her mother slept and the Channel swept

The gale in the teeth of the tide

But the mother laughed at all

I have lost my man in the sea

And the child is dead be still she said

What more can ye do to me

The widow watched the dead

And the candle guttered low

And she tried to sing the passing song

That bids the poor soul go

And Mary take you now she sang

That lay against my heart

And Mary smooth your crib to night

But she could not say depart

Then came a cry from the sea

But the sea-rime blinded the glass

And heard ye nothing mother she said

'Tis the child that waits to pass

And the nodding mother sighed

'Tis a lambing ewe in the whin

For why should the christened soul cry out

That never knew of sin

O feet I have held in my hand

O hands at my heart to catch

How should they know the road to go

And how should they lift the latch

They laid a sheet to the door

With the little quilt atop

That it might not hurt from the cold or the dirt

But the crying would not stop

The widow lifted the latch

And strained her eyes to see

And opened the door on the bitter shore

To let the soul go free

There was neither glimmer nor ghost

There was neither spirit nor spark

And heard ye nothing mother she said

'Tis crying for me in the dark

And the nodding mother sighed

'Tis sorrow makes ye dull

Have ye yet to learn the cry of the tern

Or the wail of the wind blown gull

The terns are blown inland

The gray gull follows the plough

'Twas never a bird the voice I heard

O mother I hear it now

Lie still dear lamb lie still

The child is passed from harm

'Tis the ache in your breast that broke your rest

And the feel of an empty arm

She put her mother aside

In Mary's name let be

For the peace of my soul I must go she said

And she went to the calling sea

In the heel of the wind bit pier

Where the twisted w**d was piled

She came to the life she had missed by an hour

For she came to a little child

She laid it into her breast

And back to her mother she came

But it would not feed and it would not heed

Though she gave it her own child's name

And the dead child dripped on her breast

And her own in the shroud lay stark

And God forgive us mother she said

We let it die in the dark
