They Shall Dream of Thee
Pretty shell

Upon the shore

That floated up

From the ocean floor

Children come

To play with you

Waves crash in

All frothy blue

Up to their ears

They listen close

Hearing the roar

Of your watery coast

The mystery of you

Your hiss inside

They play in awe

As you raise your tides

You made their day

Pretty shell of the sea

When they sleep tonight

They shall dream of thee
