She groan'd and groan'd, but her groans grew
Fainter at morning tide,
Fainter and fainter still they came
Till at the noon she died.
Fainter at morning tide,
Fainter and fainter still they came
Till at the noon she died.
They flung her overboard;—poor wretch
She rested from her pain,—
But when—O Christ! O blessed God!
Shall I have rest again!
She rested from her pain,—
But when—O Christ! O blessed God!
Shall I have rest again!
I saw the sea close over her,
Yet she was still in sight;
I see her twisting every where;
I see her day and night.
Yet she was still in sight;
I see her twisting every where;
I see her day and night.
Go where I will, do what I can
The wicked one I see—
Dear Christ have mercy on my soul,
O God deliver me!
The wicked one I see—
Dear Christ have mercy on my soul,
O God deliver me!
