I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think they will sing to me.
I have seen them riding seaward on the waves.
Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
When the wind blows the water white and black.
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.
~ T.S. Eliot
