Full Fathom Five by Michael Tippett Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1962

Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell
Hark! now I hear them, – Ding-dong, bell
