OVER the seas to-night, love,
Over the darksome deeps,
Over the seas to-night, love,
Slowly my vessel creeps.
Over the seas to-night, love,
Waking the sleeping foam --
Sailing away from thee, love,
Sailing from thee and home.
Over the seas to -- night, love,
Dreaming beneath the spars --
Till in my dreams you shine, love,
Bright as the listening stars.
