Sweet Dublin Bay |
They sailed away in that gallant bark |
Roy Neal and his fair young bride |
They had ventured all on that bounding shipp |
That danced on the silv’ry tide |
And his heart was young and his spirit light |
As he kissed her tears away |
And they watched the shore retreat from sight |
Of their own sweet Dublin bay |
Three days they sailed when the storm arose |
And the lightning swept the deep |
And the thunderclaps broke the short repose |
Of the weary sailors' sleep |
Roy Neal, he clasped his weeping bride |
And he kissed her tears away |
«Oh, love, 'twas a fearful hour,» he cried |
«When we left sweet Dublin Bay.» |
On the crowded deck of that doomed ship |
Some fell into deep despair |
And some more calm with a holier heart |
Sought the god of the storm in prayer |
«She has struck a rock,» the sailors cried |
In a breath of wild dismay |
And the ship went down with the fair young bride |
That left from Dublin bay |
They sailed away on that gallant bark |
Roy Neal and his gay young bride |
They had ventured all on that bounding shipp |
That danced on the silvery tide |
And his heart was young and his spirit light |
As he kissed her tears away |
And they watched the shore retreat from sight |
Of their own sweet Dublin bay |
