Plea of a seaman's girlfriend

Plea of a seaman's girlfriend

I can see the ship you’ve boarded

It’s engine warns me it’ll soon leave

Teary eyes, I’m here alone

“Make him stay, “to God I prayed.

 

Yet, there it goes, sailing away.

Waves part as it make way

Bit by bit, the ship becomes smaller to my sight

Lo! It’s gone as it turns right.

 

I gaze at the wide sea,

I cried and made a plea,

To the water nymphs I cried,

To take me to you at any tide.
