The maid tied a note to this little bird's neck, And soon a brave knight burst the prison-house
And pointed to home, like a far-distant speck ;
O'er land and o'er water away the bird flew,
Sought kinsman and lover, — the courier they knew ;

The breakers a-head, and the boatswain loud
While the main-yard dips deep, and white billows

Will my Nancy not shrink then, amid the dread
'O no! my dear lad, when these dangers are near
me, [cheer me ;
My Jack's kindly whispers will soothe me — will
A kiss snatch'd in secret amid the dread horror.

On your fate my fond eye will be fix'd while you're
