In your heart the crabs will play :) Lyrics : Dead man sea

Come not, when I am dead, To drop your foolish tears upon my grave, To trample around on my fallen head, And vex the dust you would not save. There let the wind sweep and the swallow cry While you, you go by.

Man help me! save I take my part Of danger on the roaring sea, A devil rises in my heart, Far worse than any death to me.

The sailor men will come again Just wait until the summer rain So you will never lie alone Under your still and sullen stone.

In the sultry garden-squares, I hear the flute-notes start to wear, I hear the speech of the doctrinaire As when a hawker hawks his wares.

He rose at dawn and, fired with hope, Hop and goes to the haven bar, And reach'd the ship and caught the rope, Whistled in sip to the morning star.

And while he whistled long and loud He heard a fierce mermaiden cry, "O boy, though you are young and proud, I see the place where you will lie."

"The sands and misty tidal mix In caves about the dreary bay, And on your ribs the limpet sticks, And in your heart the crabs will play."

I leave the dreaming world below Here the wind won't cease to blow My sighs are wasted in the air I shall climb the heavenly stairs

On either side of the river lie Long fields of barley and of rye Time bears my soul into the waste Even the stars know my distress.

As my heart stands substanceless his rays pass through the other side So swiftly, that they won't abide But loose themselves in utter emptiness half light half shadow, my spirit sleep None had love, who never knew to weep.
