Ahoy and ahoyA
'Twixt mocking and merryB
Ahoy and ahoy thereC
Young man of the ferryB
She stood on the stepsD
In the watery gloomE
That Changeling Ahoy thereC
She called him to comeF
He came on the green waveG
He came on the greyH
Where stooped that sweet ladyB
That still summer's dayH
He fell in a dreamI
Of her beautiful faceJ
As she sat on the thwartK
And smiled in her placeJ
No echo his oar wokeL
Float silent did theyH
Past low grazing cattleM
In the sweet of the hayH
And still in a dreamI
At her beauty sat heB
Drifting stern foremostN
Down down to the seaB
Come you then callO
When the twilight apaceJ
Brings shadow to broodP
On the loveliest faceJ
You shall hear o'er the waterQ
Ring faint in the greyH
Ahoy and ahoy thereC
And tremble awayH
Ahoy and ahoyA
And tremble awayH
