Widow With Shawl (A Portrait) |
| Dear wind that shakes the barley free |
| Blow home my true love’s ship to me, fill her sail |
| I, a-weary, wait upon the shore |
| Forsake her not in times of storm |
| Protect her oaken beams from harm, fill her sail |
| I, a-weary, wait upon the shore |
| Whether he be in Africa |
| Or deep asleep in India, fill his dreams |
| I, a-weary, wait upon the shore |
| Dear snow-white gulls upon the wave |
| I, like you, are lamenting for my love |
| I, a-weary, wait upon the shore |
| For seven years and seven days |
| No man has seen my woman ways, dear God |
| I, a-weary, cry upon the shore |
