1 The moon shone calmly bright,
upon the slumbering scene,
Ten thousand stars shone out that night
around their placid Queen;
A ship has left the shore,
where shall that good ship be
Ere fills the moon one bright horn more?
Deep in the booming sea!
2 "What fear? the breeze tonight
can scarce a ripple make;
And slow moves the ship with her wings of white,
like a swan o'er a moonlit lake!"
Ah! little dreamt they then
The change so soon to be,
As arose the songs of those gallant men,
on the deep and booming sea!
3 'Tis morn, but such a morn
may barque ne'er brave again,
Through vaulting billows tempest-torn,
toils the reeling ship in vain!
The waves are hushed and blue,
But where, oh! where is she,
The good ship with her gallant men?
Deep in the booming sea!
