'Twas a bleak dull moor that stretched before	A
The low stone porch of the cottage door	A
And standing there was youth and maid	B
He for long journeying seemed arrayed	B
And the sunset flamed in the burnished west	C
And a proud throb beat in the young man's breast	C
As he whispered Sweet will you come to me	D
In that fairer land beyond the sea	D
	-
The wonderful western land in dreams	E
I have seen its prairies green and gleams	E
Of its shining waterfalls valleys fair	F
And a voice in my dreams has called me there	F
Where man is a man and not a clod	C
And must bend the knee to none but God	C
A home will I make for thee and me	D
In that fairer land beyond the sea	D
	-
But the cruel seas where the fated ships	G
Go down to their doom But he kissed the lips	G
The trembling lips till they smiled again	H
And his bright hopes cheered her heart's dull pain	I
And she laid her head on his hopeful breast	C
And looked with him to the glowing west	C
And said I will come I will come to thee	D
To that fairer land beyond the seas	J
	-
And the crimson light changed to daffodil	K
To ashen gray but they stood there still	K
And high o'er the west shone the evening star	L
As still he pictured that home afar	L
The peace and the bliss our own at last	C
When this dreary parting all is past	C
When my heart's dear love you come to me	D
In that fairer land beyond the sea	D
	-
So he sailed but saddest 'tis alway	M
Not for those who go but for those who stay	C
And her sweet eyes gathered a shadow dim	N
As days went by with no news of him	N
And weeks and months but at last it came	O
As the gray moor shone with the sunset flame	O
Her quick eyes glanced the strange lines o'er	P
Then she fell like dead on the cottage floor	A
	-
'Twas a stranded ship on a rocky coast	C
One true heart brave when hope was lost	C
How he toiled till all the shore had gained	C
And only a baby form remained	C
On ship how he breasted the surging tide	C
With Death a wrestling side by side	C
How he lifted the child to its mother's knee	D
As a great wave washed him out to sea	D
	-
And for days the maid in the cottage door	A
Sat and looked o'er the dreary moor	Q
Her cheeks grew white 'neath her blinding tears	R
And the sunset rays seemed cruel spears	S
That pierced her heart and ashen gray	C
Turned the earth and sky the night the day	C
But at last a star shone high above	T
The tender star of the heavenly love	T
	-
For as her life ebbed day by day	C
The High Countrie the Fair alway	M
Rose 'fore her eyes the safe sweet home	U
And she seemed to hear Love will you come	V
And so one eve when a bridge of gold	C
Seemed spanning the last sea dim and cold	C
She went to him for aye to be	D
In the fairest land beyond the sea	D
