Of a coral bed,
Where the mermaid sighs
O’er the lonely dead!
My course is east—my course is west—
Where, where shall the petrel rest?—
In the cleft of a rock,
Where the surges sweep,
And lulled by the shock,
Shall the petrel sleep.
Of a coral bed,
Where the mermaid sighs
O’er the lonely dead!
My course is east—my course is west—
Where, where shall the petrel rest?—
In the cleft of a rock,
Where the surges sweep,
And lulled by the shock,
Shall the petrel sleep.
