“THE SHADOWS ON THE WATER REACH.”

The shadows on the water reach

My shadow on the beach;

I see the dark trees on the shore,

The fisher's oar.

I met her by the sea last night,

A little maid in white;

I shall never meet her more

On the shore.

Ho! fisher, hoist your idle sail,

And whistle for a gale;

My ship is waiting in the bay,

Row away!
