| Methought the stars were blinking bright | B |
| And the old brig's sails unfurled | C |
| I said I will sail to my love this night | B |
| At the other side of the world | C |
| I stepped aboard we sailed so fast | D |
| The sun shot up from the bourne | E |
| But a dove that perched upon the mast | D |
| Did mourn and mourn and mourn | E |

| Till night rose over the bourne | E |
| The dove on the mast as we sailed fast | D |
| Did mourn and mourn and mourn | E |
