Weeper On The Shore

In the vale where i once listened out for the light

Where the little birds warble

The ptarmigans babble

And my heart looked for some rest from its trouble



I cast my eyes downward upon the seaside

And a fair young girl on the shore i espied

Who was sitting and weeping

To see the waves leaping

And over the skyline sad vigil was keeping.



O why are you weeping alone on the shore?

Now still from your eyes i can see the tears pour.

What sorrow and smart

So pierces your heart

That even at midnight it will not depart?
