In the vale where I once listened out for the light
Where the little birds warble
The ptarmigans babble
As my heart looked about for some rest from its trouble

I cast my eyes downward upon the seaside

I cast my eyes downward upon the seaside
There a young girl on the shore I espied

Who was sitting and weeping
To see the waves leaping
And over the skyline sad vigil was keeping

O why are you weeping alone on the shore?
Now still from your eyes I can see the tears pour
What sorrow and smart
So pierces your heart

That even at midnight it will not depart?

I cast my eyes downward upon the seaside
There a young girl on the shore I espied

Who was sitting and weeping
To see the waves leaping
And over the skyline sad vigil was keeping
