The steamer rang her bell below;

How curious that I did not know!

They were to go and stay at Thun,

Could I come there and see them soon?

And shortly were returning home,

And when would I to Helston come?

Thus down we went, I put them in;

Off went the steamer with a din,

And on the pier I stood and eyed

The bridegroom, seated by the bride,
