As Pearls Slip Off A Silken String And Fall Into The Sea, These Rounded Summer Days Fall Back Into Eternity. Into The Deep From Whence They Came; Into The Mystery - At Set Of Sun Each One Slips Back As Pearls Into The Sea. They Are So Sweet - So Warm And Sweet - Love Fain Would Hold Them Fast: He Weeps When Through His Finger Tips They Slip Away At Last.
