"Oh, have you not a message, you who come over the sea?
Have you not a message or word at all for me?"

"I have sailed, sailed, sailed where the seas are green and blue,
I've silver, gold and merchandise -- but never a word for you."

"But did you see my love by any way you came?
For if you saw my love, he must have spoke my name."

"Oh, yes, I saw your love -- oh, yes, and he was gay
Riding in his coach-and-six all on his birthday."

"But when you spoke of me, of me -- oh! what was it he said?"
"Oh, he never said a word at all, but turned away his head."
