The pearl of the sea, she trusts him
Yet, it’s only his hand she can see
Hesitant to let go of her gem
She waits for a sign, his plea
He does not want the opalescence
Only what she hides, in her shell
The maiden, is his only desire
And her heart begins to swell
Every man before him
Wanted only to reap the reward
Pearls, from the mermaid, who guards them
Leaving the lady, unexplored
But he finds the beauty, within her
Nacre holds nothing, compared
To the woman, who lives below the surf
His love for her now declared
