1Closely cling, for winds drive fast,
2Blossoms perish in the blast,
3 Love alone will last.

15Closely let me hold thy hand,Closely let me hold thy hand,
26 Storms are sweeping sea and land;Storms are sweeping sea and land,
37Love alone will stand. Love alone will stand.

59Closely cling, for waves beat fast,Kiss my lips, and softly say,
610 Foam-flakes cloud the hurrying blast;"Joy may go and sunlit day,
711Love alone will last. Love alone will stay."

9Kiss my lips, and softly say:
10 Joy, sea-swept, may fade to-day;
11Love alone will stay.
