With seven living laverocks sitting thereon.
She's gien to him a diamond ring,
With seven bright diamonds set therein.
When this ring grows pale and wan,
You may know by it my love is gane.
One day as he looked his ring upon,
He saw the diamonds pale and wan.
(laverocks, larks.)
He left the sea, and came to land,
And the first that he met was an old beggar man.
