The one I love lives far away
  Across the silver sea
  And I am longing for the day
  When he comes back to me
    His smile is lovelier than the dawn
  With all its beauty rare
  That he should love me so forlorn
  Is joy beyond compare
    Riches are vain and inconstant
  Beauty will wither and wane
  But love so pure will aye endure
  While our two hearts remain
    And now for love of him I pine
  How sad it was to part
  Where'er he walks seems ground divine
  To my poor aching heart
    For every day my choice I bless
  My love I'll never rue.
  His gentle voice his sweet caress
  He's constant fair and true
    Riches are vain and inconstant
  Beauty will wither and wane
  But love so pure will aye endure
  While our two hearts remain
