What is the savor of the salt sea air?
Gold, gold, gold.
What is the color of the sea-girl’s hair?
Gold, gold, gold.
In the church of Jesus and the streets of Venus:—
Gold, gold, gold.
What color are the cradle and the bridal bed?
What color are the coffins of the great grey dead?
Gold, gold, gold.
What is the hue of the big whales’ hide?
