Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Sea Lullaby

The old moon is tarnished
With smoke of the flood,
The dead leaves are varnished
With colour like blood!.

A treacherous smiler
With teeth white as milk,
A savage beguiler
In sheathings of silk

The sea creeps to pillage,
She leaps on her prey;
A child of the village
Was murdered today!.

She came up to meet him
In a smooth golden cloak,
She choked him and beat him
to death, for a joke!.

Her bright locks were tangled,
She shouted for joy
With one hand she strangled
A strong little boy!.

Now in silence she lingers
Beside him all night
To wash her long fingers
In silvery light!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
