-- When the Ocean Sings --

­­John Herlihy

When the ocean sings,

The shore listens.

When sunlight flies on wings,

The earth glistens.

When clouds darken the sky,

Mountain peaks surrender.

When eagles fly on high,

Gardens flourish in summer splendor.

When the wind romps at play,

The trees awaken from their rest.

When birds delight in what they say,

The ears of children feel blessed.

When we hear the lion’s roar

We feel such fear as never before

When mountains of the earth rumble,

Everyone in the world feels humble.
