| While yet she spoke a sudden chill | F |
| O'er her ardent spirit crept | G |
| A sad presentiment of ill | F |
| She turned away and wept | G |
| Far off the sigh of ocean stole | H |
| The sweeping of the sounding surge | I |
| In plaintive murmurs o'er her soul | H |
| Like wailing of a funeral dirge | I |

| And in the wind there is a tone | J |
| Which whispers to her sinking heart | K |
| Mary we meet in death alone | J |

| Fled are the shades of night | M |
| And morning bursts on the purple wave | L |
| In floods of golden light | M |

| The sudden stroke of the village bell | N |
| Checks the fisher's blithesome song | C |
| He pauses to hear how rock and fell | N |
| Its sullen tones prolong | C |

| Dost thou hear that solemn sound | O |
| 'Tis Mary Hume his comrade said | A |
| Last night her love was drowned | O |
