| She lay and laughed on a lazy billow | D |
| Far away on the deep | E |
| Who had gathered the froth for my lady's pillow | D |
| Gathered a sparkling heap | E |
| And the ocean's cry was the lullaby | F |
| That cradled my love to sleep | E |

| Far away on the blue Pacific | G |
| There doth my lady roam | H |

| In a coral cave where a blue green wave | I |
| Keeps guard is my lady's home | H |

| To gather itself and flee | B |
| At my love's behest where she waits her guest | M |
| In a palace beneath the sea | B |

| - | |
| Joy is ours that is almost anguish | N |
| Pain that is almost sweet | O |
| We kiss and the ocean creatures languish | N |
| Jealously at our feet | O |
| The sight grows dim and the senses swim | P |
| When I and my lady greet | O |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | |
| There to dream while the soul is swooning | Q |
| Under a woven spell | R |
| Hushed to sleep by her tender crooning | Q |
| Learnt from the ocean swell | R |
| There to rest on her jewelled breast | M |
| To love and be loved as well | R |
