THE HALF-RING MOON, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Over the sea, over the sea
Last Line: Hangs the half of a ring for me.
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb
Subject(s): Love; Moon


OVER the sea, over the sea,
My love he is gone to a far countrie;
But he brake a golden ring with me
The pledge of his faith to be.

Over the sea, over the sea,
He comes no more from the far countrie;
But at night, where the new moon loved to be,
Hangs the half of a ring for me.
