The Shimmer Of The Sound [SSC6 Poetry challenge]

[Intro] [Instrumental strings and harp] [Sea's Dawn] [Act One] [Scene 1] [Solo soprano] In the long shimmer of the Sound May I some day be laughing found, Part of its restless to and fro, A humble worker of the tides That round the sleepless planet flow [Scene 2] [Soprano reflecting on the work of the tides] And in the rock and drift of things— (O how the sea-weed sways and swings! Is it her hair—has she been found In the long shimmer of the Sound!) [Scene 3] [Solo flute and piano] Do some small task I do not know— O maybe help the mussel grow, Or tint the shell—imprisoned pearl— [Act Two] [Mystical] [Scene 1] [Connection with nature] [Strings] [Duet soprano and tenor] A mute companion of the waves That toss within their moonlit graves— Is it a king, or but a girl? [Scene 2] [Union with the sea] [Soprano solo] [Full orchestra] And, all the while, she sings and sings, And waves her wild white hands with glee, Mysterious sister of the world, That singing water called the sea. (O tell me was this sea-weed found In the long shimmer of the Sound!) [Final] [Outro] (O tell me was this sea-weed found In the long shimmer of the Sound!) [String and harp] [Slow tempo] [Fading] [End]
