In the roar of the storm in the wild bitter voice of the tempest whipped sea	A
The cry of my darling my child comes ever and ever to me	A
And I stand where the haggard faced wood stares down on a sinister shore	B
But all that is left is the hood of the babe I can cherish no more	B
A little blue hood with the shawl of the girl that I took for my wife	C
In a happy old season is all that remains of the light of my life	C
The wail of a woman in pain and the sob of a smothering bird	D
They come through the darkness again	E
in the wind and the rain they are heard	D
	-
Oh women and men who have known the perils of weather and wave	F
It is sad that my sweet ones are blown under sea without shelter of grave	F
I sob like a child in the night when the gale on the waters is loud	G
My darlings went down in my sight with neither a coffin nor shroud	G
	-
In the whistle of wind and the whirl of ominous fragments of wreck	H
The wife with her poor little girl saw death on the lee of the deck	H
But sirs she depended on me she trusted my comforting word	D
She is down in the depths of the sea my love with her beautiful bird	D
	-
In the boat I was ordered to go I was not more afraid than the rest	I
But a husband will falter you know with the love of his life at his breast	I
My captain was angry a space but soon he grew tender in tone	J
Perhaps there had flashed by his face a wife and a child of his own	J
	-
I was weak for some moments and cried but only one hope was in life	C
The hood upon baby I tied I fastened the shawl on my wife	C
The skipper took charge of the child he stuck to his word till the last	K
But only this hood on the wild bitter shore of the sea had been cast	K
	-
In the place of a coward who shook like a leaf in the quivering boat	L
A seat by the rowlocks I took but the sea had me soon by the throat	L
The surge gripped me fast by the neck in a ring and a roll and a roar	B
I was cast like a piece of the wreck on a bleak beaten shelterless shore	B
	-
And there were my darlings on board for the rest of that terrible day	M
And I watched and I prayed to the Lord as never before I could pray	M
The windy hills stared at the black heavy clouds coming over the wave	F
My girl was expecting me back but where was my power to save	F
	-
Ah where was my power when Death was glaring at me from the reef	N
I cried till I gasped for my breath aloof with a maddening grief	N
We couldn t get back to the deck I wanted to go but the sea	A
Dashed over the sides of the wreck and carried my darling from me	A
	-
Oh girl that I took by the hand to the altar two summers ago	O
I would you were buried on land my dear it would comfort me so	O
I would you were sleeping where grows the grass and the musical reed	P
For how can you find a repose in the toss of the tangle and weed	P
	-
The night sped along and I strained to the shadow and saw to the end	Q
My captain and bird he remained to the death a superlative friend	Q
In the face of the hurricane wild he clung with the babe to the mast	K
To the last he was true to my child he was true to my child to the last	K
	-
The wind like a life without home comes mocking at door and at pane	R
In the time of the cry of the foam in the season of thunder and rain	R
And dreaming I start in the bed and feel for my little one s brow	S
But lost is the beautiful head the cradle is tenantless now	S
	-
My home was all morning and glow when wife and her baby were there	T
But ah it is saddened you know by dresses my girl used to wear	T
I cannot re enter the door its threshold can never be crossed	U
For fear I should see on the floor the shoes of the child I have lost	U
	-
There were three of us once in the world but two are deep down in the sea	A
Where waif and where tangle are hurled the two that were portions of me	A
They are far from me now but I hear when hushed are the night and the tide	V
The voice of my little one near the step of my wife by my side	V
