¶Liedtext

A laddie sailed out on a calm blue sea; And two maidens fell a-weeping. “Alas,” said they, “’Tis a doleful day; Mayhap nevermore To the sweet green shore Shall lover to me And brother to thee, Shall lover to thee And brother to me, Come back from the treacherous, smiling sea.” A good ship went down in a wild, wild sea; And two maidens fell a-weeping. The years passed by, And two cheeks were dry:— A wife and a mother, with babe on her knee, Sat crooning a tender old lullaby, Nor thought of the lover beneath the sea;— But at eventide, By a lone fireside, A sister sat weeping for him who had died, Who came nevermore To the bright green shore, To wander with her the sweet meadows o’er.
