Then she began to sing.

THE SONG

Hush, ah hush! the sea is kind!

Lullaby is in the wind;

Grief the babe forgets to weep,

Lapped and spelled and laid to sleep:

His lip is wet with the milk of the spray;

He shall not wake till another day.

Ah hush! the sea is kind!

Who can tell, ah who can tell,
