No riches from his scanty storeB
My lover could impartC
He gave a meant his loveD

But now for me in search of gainE
From shore to shore he fliesF
Why wander riches to obtain boon I valued moreB
He gave me all his heartC

His soul sincere his gen'rous worthG
Might well this bosom moveH
And when I ask'd for bliss on earthG
I onlyI
When love is all I prizeF

The frugal meal the lowly cotJ
If blest my love with theeI
That simple fare that humble lotJ
Were more than wealth to meI

While he the dang'rous ocean bravesK
My tears but vainly flowL
Is pity in the faithless wavesK
To which I pour my woeL

The night is dark the waters deepM
Yet soft the billows rollN
Alas at every breeze I weepM
The storm is in my soulN
