¶Lyrics / Text

The sailor the deck is pacing, And he hums a rough old song, Bearing north from its southern whaling, As the good ship drives along; And his thoughts with hope are swelling, For his watch it well may cheer. To know that at last he speeds to her He has left for many a year. And she in the darkened chamber Where day is turned to night, By the candle dimly lighted She lies in her shroud of white; Closed eye and cold, cold cheek The slumber of death sleeps she, Of meeting with whom he's dreaming, In his homeward watch at sea.
