| [00:15.137] |
Twas when the seas was roaring |
| [00:18.924] |
With hollow blasts of wind |
| [00:22.694] |
A damsel lay deploring |
| [00:26.651] |
All on a rock reclined |
| [00:30.007] |
Wide o'er the foaming billows |
| [00:33.646] |
She cast a wistful look |
| [00:37.424] |
Her head was crowned with willows |
| [00:40.937] |
That trembled o'er the brook |
| [00:59.417] |
Twelve months are gone and over |
| [01:03.014] |
And nine long tedious days |
| [01:06.831] |
Why didst thou, venturous lover |
| [01:10.464] |
Why didst thou trust the seas? |
| [01:13.757] |
Cease, cease, thou cruel ocean |
| [01:17.781] |
And let my lover rest |
| [01:21.092] |
Ah! What's thy troubled motion |
| [01:25.155] |
To that within my breast? |
| [01:29.007] |
The merchant robbed of pleasure |
| [01:32.619] |
Sees tempests in despair |
| [01:36.344] |
But what's the loss of treasure |
| [01:40.087] |
To losing of my dear? |
| [01:43.672] |
Should you some coast be laid on |
| [01:47.403] |
Where gold and diamonds grow |
| [01:51.008] |
You'd find a richer maiden |
| [01:54.713] |
But none that loves you so |
| [02:57.127] |
How can they say that nature |
| [03:01.232] |
Has nothing made in vain |
| [03:05.074] |
Why then beneath the water |
| [03:08.642] |
Should hideous rocks remain? |
| [03:12.416] |
No eyes the rocks discover |
| [03:15.974] |
That lurk beneath the deep |
| [03:19.867] |
To wreck the wandering lover |
| [03:23.691] |
And leave the maid to weep |
| [03:42.226] |
All melancholy lying |
| [03:45.750] |
Thus wailed she for her dear |
| [03:49.514] |
Repaid each blast with sighing |
| [03:53.026] |
Each billow with a tear |
| [03:57.168] |
When o'er the white wave stooping |
| [04:00.468] |
His floating corpse she spied |
| [04:03.989] |
Then like a lily drooping |
| [04:07.612] |
She bowed her head and died |
