Once a new world the sunswart marinere | B |
Columbus promised and was sore withstood | C |
Ungraced unhelped unheard for many a year | B |
But let at last to make his promise good | C |
Promised and promising I go most dear | B |
To better my dull heart with love's sweet feud | D |
My life with its most reverent hope and fear | B |
And my religion with fair gratitude | D |
O we must part the stars for me contend | E |
And all the winds that blow on all the seas | F |
Through wonderful waste places I must wend | E |
And with a promise my sad soul appease | F |
Promise then promise much of far off bliss | G |
But ah for present joy give me one kiss | G |
