'Twixt mocking and merry | B |
Ahoy and ahoy there | C |
Young man of the ferry | B |
She stood on the steps | D |
In the watery gloom | E |
That Changeling Ahoy there | C |
She called him to come | F |
He came on the green wave | G |
He came on the grey | H |
Where stooped that sweet lady | B |
That still summer's day | H |
He fell in a dream | I |
Of her beautiful face | J |
As she sat on the thwart | K |
And smiled in her place | J |
No echo his oar woke | L |
Float silent did they | H |
Past low grazing cattle | M |
In the sweet of the hay | H |
And still in a dream | I |
At her beauty sat he | B |
Drifting stern foremost | N |
Down down to the sea | B |
Come you then call | O |
When the twilight apace | J |
Brings shadow to brood | P |
On the loveliest face | J |
You shall hear o'er the water | Q |
Ring faint in the grey | H |
Ahoy and ahoy there | C |
And tremble away | H |
Ahoy and ahoy | A |
And tremble away | H |
