A ship was sailing on the sea,
Sailing fast and free:
Messages of love she bore

She should cross no more.
A ship was sailing on the sea,

Storms came down aud sank the shi,
In the deep and awful sea,
With the treachcrous heart and lin
The ship was buried in the sea,

Der its grave, the wild waves sween
And the messages to me
In the waters sleep.
The ship that bore to me, to me,
Iidings o'er the sea,
Nevermore shall sight the shore,
And, here, shall never see
The words of love she bore.
Yet, in day that comes to ME
There shall be "no sea-"
And the words of love you speak,
In Gods vast eternity
Will reach the one one they seekl
And that lost message iu the sea,
Which you sent to me,
On fair and sunbright shore,
In great eternity,
