[00:15.137]Twas when the seas was roaring
[00:18.924]With hollow blasts of wind
[00:22.694]A damsel lay deploring
[00:26.651]All on a rock reclined
[00:30.007]Wide o'er the foaming billows
[00:33.646]She cast a wistful look
[00:37.424]Her head was crowned with willows
[00:40.937]That trembled o'er the brook
[00:59.417]Twelve months are gone and over
[01:03.014]And nine long tedious days
[01:06.831]Why didst thou, venturous lover
[01:10.464]Why didst thou trust the seas?
[01:13.757]Cease, cease, thou cruel ocean
[01:17.781]And let my lover rest
[01:21.092]Ah! What's thy troubled motion
[01:25.155]To that within my breast?
[01:29.007]The merchant robbed of pleasure
[01:32.619]Sees tempests in despair
[01:36.344]But what's the loss of treasure
[01:40.087]To losing of my dear?
[01:43.672]Should you some coast be laid on
[01:47.403]Where gold and diamonds grow
[01:51.008]You'd find a richer maiden
[01:54.713]But none that loves you so
[02:57.127]How can they say that nature
[03:01.232]Has nothing made in vain
[03:05.074]Why then beneath the water
[03:08.642]Should hideous rocks remain?
[03:12.416]No eyes the rocks discover
[03:15.974]That lurk beneath the deep
[03:19.867]To wreck the wandering lover
[03:23.691]And leave the maid to weep
[03:42.226]All melancholy lying
[03:45.750]Thus wailed she for her dear
[03:49.514]Repaid each blast with sighing
[03:53.026]Each billow with a tear
[03:57.168]When o'er the white wave stooping
[04:00.468]His floating corpse she spied
[04:03.989]Then like a lily drooping
[04:07.612]She bowed her head and died
