One night two lonely women met	A
Beside a storm swept bay	B
With tears their mournful eyes were wet	A
Their pale lips salt with spray	B
They passed then turned as though each yearned	C
Some friendly word to say	B
	-
Poor soul cried one hast thou no fear	D
To walk this haunted strand	E
What hopeless sorrow brings thee here	F
Where dead men drift to land	E
I too have grief beyond relief	G
Speak I can understand	E
	-
I mourn a son the other said	H
That ocean is his grave	I
My heart will not be comforted	J
It breaks with every wave	I
Would I might sleep in yonder deep	K
With him I could not save	I
	-
The wind was raging as to night	L
Straight on these rocks it blew	M
I watched until the dawning light	L
Disclosed the wreck to view	M
From where we stand I saw his hand	E
Wave me a last adieu	M
	-
He deemed the boat too frail to bear	N
Another living freight	O
'Push off' he said with tranquil air	N
'Go first and I will wait '	-
But all the while despite his smile	P
He knew 'twould be too late	O
	-
That heartless crew shall nevermore	Q
God's absolution find	R
They watched like cravens from the shore	Q
The man they left behind	R
Go down before the breakers' roar	Q
The surges and the wind	R
	-
Hence when such maddened tempests rave	I
I cannot rest at home	S
For then the billows deck his grave	I
With flowers of snow white foam	S
And here I pray till break of day	B
Beneath night's starless dome	S
	-
A silence fell then faint and low	T
The other weeping said	H
My heavier woe thou needst not know	T
Within his ocean bed	H
On thy son's name there rests no shame	U
Would God that mine were dead	H
