¶Liedtext

The moon is climbing up the night: Yeo, heave ho! and yeo, heave ho! The little stars are shining bright, While favouring winds to sea invite, And much may be won e’er morning light; So cheerily, yeo, heave ho! A shoal of fish is off our shore: Yeo, heave ho! and yeo, heave ho! Then spread the sail, and ply the oar; They come to fill our empty store, To glad the rich, and help the poor; So cheerily, yeo, heave ho! What though with danger sometimes rife? Yeo, heave ho! and yeo, heave ho! The fisherman’s is a merry life: A well-rigged craft, a loving wife, And he’ll snap his thumbs at care and strife; So cheerily, yeo, heave ho! [Stanford omits this poem’s last verse] Then good night, Jane and baby Bill, Yeo, heave ho! and yeo, heave ho! For you my darlings, with a will, Our hands shall toil, our nets shall fill; So cheerily, yeo, heave ho!
