Thou that hast daughter

With snow upon his head
Oh. give her TO an old man,
Though little JOY it be,
Before the rest young sailor
That sails upon the sea
How lucklcss il the sailor
When sick and like to die;
He sees no tender mother,
No sweetheart standing bv.
Only the Captain speaks TO him.
Stand up, stand up. Young man,
And steer The ship TO heaven,
As none beside thee can.
Thou sayest TO me, Stand stand up"

But on the windy sea bach,
At the ending of 'he land,
All on the sully sea beach,
Deep down into the sand
For there viii come the sailors,
Their voices / shall hear,
Aud at casting Of the anchor
The yo.ho an the cheer
The yo.ho loud and clear
And at hauling OF the anchor
Farewell, my love, for to thy bay
never more may steer.
