For whom the dark is full of 4 dead song
For whom the waves troubled the wind wet
With lost tears hurrying along.
Alas. how can I comfort Margaret
Who knows so well the dead man was nv foe
How can bid her weep not forget
One least pale Offering of woe?
Yet he. who sailed so carelessly at dawn
Felt not, as i, her cold hand on the rope
Nor scanned so deep her young ewes ali forIorr
Her red lips whispering of hope
And may say no word to solace her
Nor creep one step beyond my prison bars
Nor rise and be the coolest comforter
To one sob lost among the stars.

For whom the waves are troubled. the wind wet
