Song for an Unarriving Lover
- Sitting at St. Simon's chapel, alone,
- soon I was surrounded by the rising ocean,
- waiting for my lover, still waiting.
- Before the altar of the chapel, waiting,
- soon I was surrounded by the ocean's waves,
- waiting for my lover, still waiting.
- Soon I was surrounded by the rising ocean,
- without a boatman and unused to rowing,
- waiting for my lover, still waiting.
- Soon I was surrounded by the ocean's waves,
- without a boatman to row me away,
- waiting for my lover, still waiting.
- Without a boatman and unused to rowing,
- I'll die, a fair girl, in the high-waving ocean,
- waiting for my lover, still waiting.
- Alone, without a boatman to row me away,
- I'll die, a fair girl, in the ocean's waves,
- waiting for my lover, still waiting.
