| Come back my love with pity in your eyes | A |

| The tall white ships drift with the falling tide | B |

| Thrust if you will sharp arrows in my side | B |
| Play with my tears and feed upon my sighs | A |

| Wound me with swords put arrows in my side | B |
| On the white sea the haze of noon day lies | A |
| Play with my tears and feed upon my sighs | A |
| But come my love before my heart has died | B |

| Drink my salt tears and feed upon my sighs | A |
| Westward the evening goes with one red stride | B |
| Come back my love before my heart has died | B |
| Down sinks the sun the tremulous daylight dies | A |
| - | |
| Come back my love before my heart has died | B |
| Out of the South I see the pale moon rise | A |
| Down sinks the sun the tremulous daylight dies | A |
| The white winged ships drift with the falling tide | B |
