Page:The songs that Quinte sang.djvu/23

Rh So I dry my tears and stand
 * Gazing out across the main,

And with patience wait the hour
 * When my ships will come again.

Some day I shall see them all
 * Anchored safely off the shore,

Then my heart will cease to mourn,
 * And my vigils will be o’er.

Just so sure as smile the stars
 * In the mirror of the sea,

Just so sure my bonnie ships Will return, some day, to me.
