Soul and name
How can I say to dancing ‘nay’?
My soul would like to spin.
Yet God has given me a name
Which is marine, marine!
I dance a waltz, the ballroom beams,
I keep my grief within,
Yet God has given me different dreams
Which are marine, marine!
Oh, how appealing is this ball!
It sings, it draws me in.
Yet God has given me a soul
Which is marine, marine!
1911
