| 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 |
| O fair dove O fond dove | F |
| And dove with the white breast | G |
| Let me alone the dream is my own | H |

| My true love fares on this great hill | I |
| Feeding his sheep for aye | J |

| And the dove mourned on apace | M |
| No flame did flash nor fair blue reek | L |

| Methought he said In this far land | P |
| O is it thus we meet | Q |
| Ah maid most dear I am not here | R |
| I have no place no part | N |
| No dwelling more by sea or shore | S |
| But only in thy heart | N |
| O fair dove O fond dove | F |
| Till night rose over the bourne | E |
| The dove on the mast as we sailed fast | D |
| Did mourn and mourn and mourn | E |
