• While now the Pole Star sinks from sight
      The Southern Cross it climbs the sky;
    But losing thee, my love, my light,
    O bride but for one bridal night,
      The loss no rising joys supply.

    Love, love, the Trade Winds urge abaft,
    And thee, from thee, they steadfast waft.

    By day the blue and silver sea
      And chime of waters blandly...
