 |
| On Saint Valentine's Eve Twixt twilight and night, The spell Of the Silver Shell Sea,- Enticed a trance!- Strangely enhanced! By a looking-glass galaxy! And you could see Further-than-forever,- Caught!- In a quiet embrace Of Sky-in-the-sea- And Sea-in-the-sky, Forever! Interlaced! 'Twas said: On St. Valentine's Eve, Should you chance to be In the Center Of the Silver Shell Sea, If your heart is pure, You wish is sure, To come true!- Accordingly. And, if the island called Periwinkle Should appear in Silver Shell Sea, The promise thereof: "This island of love Will welcome you!- Royally!" |

| Long ago And Far away And once In the nick of time, And long before This water colored Rhapsody reasoned in Rhyme, On an Island called Periwinkle, In the Center Of the Silver Shell Sea The legendary Periwinkle Palace stood Surrounded by Segosen trees This turquoise and silver-laced Legend of Love, Was in an enchanted sphere, An intangible shell With a six-sided spell! Twas visible?- Just once a year! |
