 Song.
 O love of mine, the shallop waits;
 Come sail away with me
 To the shining gates of the fairy straits That lie beyond the sea.
 By night, at least, we defy the fateS;
 By night come for thee;
 The boat is manned by fairy band;
 Come down to the strand and sec.
 Come, sail away, we are slaves by day,
 But tonight we may be free. A fate unkind when morn shall rise
 Across the silver sea.
 When the fair morn flies from the brighten
 ing skies,
 Will tear thee away from me; Come sail away till the starlight dies;
 I walt on the strand for thee. Oh, thou and to the west will fly,
 Where the fairy islands bel
 Come, sail away; we are slaves by day,
 But tonight we may be free.
