[00:26.24]In the vale where I once listened out for the light
[00:31.80]Where the little birds warble
[00:33.99]The ptarmigans babble
[00:37.49]And my heart looked for some rest from its trouble
[00:42.99]I cast my eyes downward upon the seaside
[00:49.43]And a fair young girl on the shore I espied
[00:55.30]Who was sitting and weeping
[00:59.24]To see the waves leaping
[01:01.49]And over the skyline sad vigil was keeping.
[01:09.36]
[01:22.08]O why are you weeping alone on the shore?
[01:26.97]Now still from your eyes I can see the tears pour.
[01:33.53]What sorrow and smart
[01:35.54]So pierces your heart
[01:38.41]That even at midnight it will not depart?
