Trembles on tile purple sea,

Softly o'er the dimpled swell,

Round the dainty flower bell;
When the zephyr glides serenely
Ger the white capped ocean bar.

And shot an arrow through
A tender maideR's heart, whose name
Was Eyaline McWoo.

Did not ~reciprocate.
She felt the arrow in her heart
And cried: "Why is it so?
What goods an arrow to me If
I do not have a beau?"
