| Down their long shafts the weary sunbeams glide | B |
| The white winged ships drift with the falling tide | B |
| Come back my love with pity in your eyes | A |
| - | |
| The tall white ships drift with the falling tide | B |
| Far far away I hear the seamews' cries | A |
| Come back my love with pity in your eyes | A |
| There is no room now in my heart for pride | B |

| Let me become the scorn of all the wise | A |
| Out of the East I see the morning ride | 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 |
