SWEET love, in fond converse together
In the light canoe sat we,
Still the night was, and calm was the weather,
As we skimm'd o'er the wide-spreading sea.

The fair spirit-islands before us
In the glimmering moonlight lay;
Sweet tones came-floating o'er us,
While the mists were dancing in play.

On danced they with merrier motion,
And sweeter still sounded the song;
But over the boundless ocean
We mournfully floated along.
