Dear Virgin Mary far away	A
Look down from Heaven while I pray	A
Open your golden casement high	B
And lean way out beyond the sky	B
I am so little it may be	C
A task for you to harken me	C
	-
O Lady Mary I have bought	D
A candle as the good priest taught	E
I only had one penny so	F
Old Goody Jenkins let it go	F
It is a little bent you see	C
But Oh be merciful to me	C
	-
I have not anything to give	G
Yet I so long for him to live	H
A year ago he sailed away	A
And not a word unto today	A
I've strained my eyes from the sea wall	I
But never does he come at all	I
	-
Other ships have entered port	J
Their voyages finished long or short	J
And other sailors have received	K
Their welcomes while I sat and grieved	K
My heart is bursting for his hail	L
O Virgin let me spy his sail	L
	-
Hull down on the edge of a sun soaked sea	C
Sparkle the bellying sails for me	C
Taut to the push of a rousing wind	M
Shaking the sea till it foams behind	M
The tightened rigging is shrill with the song	N
We are back again who were gone so long	N
	-
One afternoon I bumped my head	O
I sat on a post and wished I were dead	O
Like father and mother for no one cared	P
Whither I went or how I fared	P
A man's voice said My little lad	Q
Here's a bit of a toy to make you glad	Q
	-
Then I opened my eyes and saw him plain	R
With his sleeves rolled up and the dark blue stain	R
Of tattooed skin where a flock of quail	L
Flew up to his shoulder and met the tail	L
Of a dragon curled all pink and green	S
Which sprawled on his back when it was seen	S
	-
He held out his hand and gave to me	C
The most marvellous top which could ever be	C
It had ivory eyes and jet black rings	T
And a red stone carved into little wings	T
All joined by a twisted golden line	U
And set in the brown wood even and fine	U
	-
Forgive me Lady I have not brought	E
My treasure to you as I ought	E
But he said to keep it for his sake	V
And comfort myself with it and take	V
Joy in its spinning and so I do	W
It couldn't mean quite the same to you	W
	-
Every day I met him there	X
Where the fisher nets dry in the sunny air	X
He told me stories of courts and kings	T
Of storms at sea of lots of things	T
The top he said was a sort of sign	U
That something in the big world was mine	U
	-
Blue and white on a sun shot ocean	Y
Against the horizon a glint in motion	Y
Full in the grasp of a shoving wind	M
Trailing her bubbles of foam behind	M
Singing and shouting to port she races	Z
A flying harp with her sheets and braces	Z
	-
O Queen of Heaven give me heed	A2
I am in very utmost need	A2
He loved me he was all I had	Q
And when he came it made the sad	Q
Thoughts disappear This very day	A
Send his ship home to me I pray	A
	-
I'll be a priest if you want it so	F
I'll work till I have enough to go	F
And study Latin to say the prayers	B2
On the rosary our old priest wears	B2
I wished to be a sailor too	W
But I will give myself to you	W
	-
I'll never even spin my top	C2
But put it away in a box I'll stop	C2
Whistling the sailor songs he taught	E
I'll save my pennies till I have bought	D
A silver heart in the market square	X
I've seen some beautiful white ones there	X
	-
I'll give up all I want to do	W
And do whatever you tell me to	W
Heavenly Lady take away	A
All the games I like to play	A
Take my life to fill the score	D2
Only bring him back once more	D2
	-
The poplars shiver and turn their leaves	E2
And the wind through the belfry moans and grieves	E2
The gray dust whirls in the market square	X
And the silver hearts are covered with care	X
By thick tarpaulins Once again	F2
The bay is black under heavy rain	R
	-
The Queen of Heaven has shut her door	D2
A little boy weeps and prays no more	D2
