| Sever'd from thee can I survive | B |
| But fate has will'd and we must part | C |
| I'll often greet this surging swell | A |
| Yon distant isle will often hail | A |
| E'en here I took the last farewell | A |
| There latest mark'd her vanish'd sail | A |

| Along the solitary shore | D |
| While flitting sea fowl round me cry | - |

| Where now my Nancy's path may be | F |
| While thro' thy sweets she loves to stray | E |
| O tell me does she muse on me | F |
