Sea Flowers

The sea-flowers grow in the deeps below
     As the land-flowers bloom above,
In darkness fair as the light-born are
     Though watched by our human love.

So the brave of heart fulfills his part
     In the realm that fortune gives;
Content with his own, though long unknown
     In the temple of God he lives.
