And the yellow half-moon large and low;

And the startled little waves that leap

In fiery ringlets from their sleep,

As I gain the cove with pushing prow,

And quench its speed i' the slushy sand.

Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach;

Channeled Song: “Fresh” by Kool & The Gang

Three fields to cross till a farm appears;

Channeled Song: “Wide Open Spaces” by The Chicks

A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratch

Channeled Song: “Acknowledge Me” by Prince

And blue spurt of a lighted match,

Channeled Song: “Fire” by The Pointer Sisters

And a voice less loud, thro' its joys and fears,

Channeled Song: “Reunited” by Peaches & Herb

Than the two hearts beating each to each!

Channeled Song: “Hold Me” by Sheila E.
