Full Lyrics
This morn, thy gallant bark, love,
Sailed on the sunny sea;
’Tis noon,—and tempests dark, love,
Have wrecked it on the lee.
Ah, wo! ah, wo! ah, wo!
By spirits of the deep
He’s cradled on the billow,
To his unwaking sleep!
Thou liest upon the shore, love,
Beside the swelling surge;
But seanymphs ever more, love,
Shall sadly chaunt thy dirge.
O come! O come! O come!
Ye spirits of the deep!
While near his seaweed pillow,
My lonely watch I keep.
From far across the sea, love,
I hear a wild lament,
By Echo’s voice, for thee, love,
From Ocean’s caverns sent:—
O list! O list! O list!
The spirits of the deep—
Loud sounds their wail of sorrow,
While I for ever weep!
