The waves have a story to tell me,
    As I lie on the lonely beach;
Chanting aloft in the pine-tops,
    The wind has a lesson to teach;
...
        
            There's a cry from out the loneliness -- oh, listen, Honey, listen!
    Do you hear it, do you fear it, you're a-holding of me so?
You're a-sobbing in your sleep, dear, and your lashes, how they glisten --
    Do you hear the Little Voices all a-begging me to go?
...
