Apollo unto Neptune said
Come, I shall drink the sea!
But Neptune laughed out like a lad
In his boyish jollity
And cried
You would drink the earth
If you could
And cried
You would drink the earth
If you could
And cried
You would drink the earth
If you could
And infinity?

Apollo unto Neptune said

But Neptune laughed out like a lad
In his boyish jollity
And cried
You would drink the earth
If you could
And cried
You would drink the earth
If you could

And the poet the symbol who understood
Felt his misery

And the poet the symbol who understood
Felt his misery

And cried
You would drink the earth
If you could

And cried
You would drink the earth
If you could

And the poet the symbol who understood
Felt his misery
