"ONE FOOT ON SEA, & ONE ON SHORE."
Sweet the sorrow
Which ends to-morrow;
Sharp though it be and sore,
It ends for evermore:
Zest of sorrow,
What ends to-morrow.
Which ends to-morrow;
Sharp though it be and sore,
It ends for evermore:
Zest of sorrow,
What ends to-morrow.
"ONE FOOT ON SEA, AND ONE ON SHORE."
"OH tell me once and tell me twice
And tell me thrice to make it plain,
When we who part this weary day,
When we who part shall meet again."
And tell me thrice to make it plain,
When we who part this weary day,
When we who part shall meet again."
"When windflowers blossom on the sea
And fishes skim along the plain,
Then we who part this weary day,
Then you and I shall meet again."
And fishes skim along the plain,
Then we who part this weary day,
Then you and I shall meet again."
"Yet tell me once before we part,
Why need we part who part in pain?
If flowers must blossom on the sea,
Why, we shall never meet again.
Why need we part who part in pain?
If flowers must blossom on the sea,
Why, we shall never meet again.
"My cheeks are paler than a rose,
My tears are Salter than the main,
My heart is like a lump of ice
If we must never meet again."
My tears are Salter than the main,
My heart is like a lump of ice
If we must never meet again."
