"Willie My Brave"

Willie my Brave

On the lonely sea beat shore
 A maiden fair was weeping
Calling one who far away
 Beneath the wave was sleeping
Thus her sad unchanging strain
Floated ever on the main
 Come o'er the billow
 Ride on the wave
 Come while the wind bloweth
 Willie my brave

 Said his bark
He told  her  he  would soon return
 And
 Then with a kiss they parted
But when a year had passed away
 then
 She soon grew weary hearted
Oh! 'twas sad from day  to day
To hear the maiden's plaintive lay –
Come o'er the billow +c,
