A maiden sat at her door
And sighed as she looked at the sea:

“I’ve a dear, dear love on a distant shore
A-dying for news of me.”
And the wind was listening near
And saw that the maid was fair

So the kind wind whispered a hope in her ear
As he played with her bright brown hair:
“Be of good cheer, sweetheart
I fly to that distant shore

Thy lover I’ll tell thou lovest him well
Ever and evermore.”
The maiden dried her eyes
And a smile shone over her face

For she saw bright hope in the changing skies
As the wind flew off apace
And she bade the kind wind good speed
“Hurry, O Wind,” said she

“Oh, say that I love him indeed and indeed,”
And the wind cried over the sea:
“Be of good cheer, sweetheart
I fly to that distant shore

Thy lover I’ll tell thou lovest him well
Ever and evermore.”
The wind tore over the wave
Scattering ocean spray

But alack! the lover he flew to save
He met on his homeward way
And his good ship sank in the gale
And ev’ry soul beside

And the wind came sobbing to tell the tale
And the maiden drooped and died
Be of good cheer, poor heart
At rest on a distant shore

Where thou and thy love walk hand in hand
Ever and evermore
