'OH, love me! love me!'
The sea-maid sings ori the pebbly shore-
'Love me! oh, love me!'
The tears they gather, the tears run o'er;
She looks to the sea, she looks to the hill,
But no one comes, and the night is still-
'Oh, love me! love me!'

'Oh, love me I love me!'
Singing so sadly, singing so long-
'Love me! oh, love me!
I would give true love, so deep, so strong,
To him who would give true love to me.'
Nought on the hill, and nought on the sea-
'Oh, love me! love me!'

'Love me! oh, love me!'
Singing so long, and singing so late-
'Love me! oh, love me!
My heart is lone, I weep while I wait.'
She looks to the sea, she looks to the hill,
But no one comes, and the night is still-
'Oh, love me! love me!'
