Hither dear fisher maiden, Speedy thy fleet bark to me; With thy young beauty laden Come where I pine for thee! In these true arms reposing, Secure from the treach'rous main, Listen to me disclosing Hope's fervid plea again... E'en as that restless ocean Throbs this wild heart of mine But 'neath its dark commotion Love's precious pearl is thine. Come!... Come! for thee I pine dear maiden Come! Come! Oh bring thy heart to mine! Come! Come ! Come!

Led by his gentle power To thee ever turns my heart, Making its stormiest hour Tranquil where'er thou art... Toss'd on doubt's surges lonely Let me thy pity move, Wreck not the hope whose only Succor can be thy love. Come! Come! For thee I pine dear maiden Come! Come! Oh bring thy heart to mine! Come! Come! Come!
