¶Lyrics / Text

From your coral chambers speed ye, Gold-haired daughters of the sea; Bear your wealth of pearl and amber, Bring the gift and bend the knee! Come ye o’er the silvery tide, Homage pay the Sea King’s Bride; Come ye o’er the silvery tide, Homage pay the Sea King’s Bride. From the lakes and leafy coverts Where ye nymphs and dryads dwell, Cull the fresh wild flowers of Nature, Leaf and bud from dale and dell. From the haunts wherein ye hide, Come, salute the Sea King’s Bride; From the haunts wherein ye hide, Come, salute the Sea King’s Bride. Lo! she comes, the beauteous maiden, Brightly beam her azure eyes; Gleams the gold, her soft hair flowing, Love’s sweet blush her young cheek dyes. Sea maids, wood nymphs, blend your songs, To your race the bride belongs; Loved and loving, Ocean’s pride, Is the fair young Sea King’s Bride.
