Who doth calm my troubled seas?
Not he, not she
Nor the carnal man of the world
His ignorant gaze ne’er saved a soul
Nor the goddess divine
Who has captured all friends of mine
But the strong being with a calming hand
Whose powers reach from a grain of sand
To a mountain tall
And a royal hall
He doth calm my troubled seas
