As I do walk the sandy beach,
And watch the setting sun,
My thoughts across the ocean reach
To thee, my love'd one!
The western sky doth seem to glow
So beautifully bright.
Is it the sun that makes it so?
Surely it is thy light,
My love!
Surely it is thy light.
The sea-gull to his mate doth call,
And so do I to thee;
Come back my love, my life, my all,
My soul, come back to me!
Recross the might deep, dear heart,
And let me live again;
Fo thou art of my life a part.
Let me not call in vain,
My love!
Let me not call in vain.
