The Moon is distant from the Sea ? 
And yet, with Amber Hands ? 
She leads Him ? docile as a Boy ? 
Along appointed Sands ? 

He never misses a Degree ? 
Obedient to Her eye ? 
He comes just so far ? toward the Town ? 
Just so far ? goes away ? 

Oh, Signor, Thine, the Amber Hand ? 
And mine ? the distant Sea ? 
Obedient to the least command 
Thine eye impose on me ?
