Weeper On The Shore Lyrics

Weeper On The Shore lyrics

In the vale where I once listened out for the light
Where the little birds
warble
The ptarmigans babble
And my heart looked about for some rest
from its trouble
I cast my eyes downward upon the seaside
And a fair
young girl on the shore I espied
Who was sitting and weeping
To see
the waves leaping
And over the skyline the sad vigil was keeping
O
why are you weeping alone on the shore ?
Now still from your eyes I can
see the tears pour
What sorrow and smart
So pierces your heart
That even a midnight it will not depart ?
