Last Line: Beneath the hollow sea!
Subject(s): Bells;faith;love;sea; Belief;creed;ocean


She parted with her lover, --
The maiden sought her pillow,
Over the lake his shallop flew,
On the green billow,
For he said he would return again
When the vesper bell should chime;
The vesper bell chimed long ago, --
'Tis past the vesper time.
"And has he broke his faith?" she sighed,
"The faith he pledged to me;
Come back again, thou truant one,
From the false and hollow sea."

She dreamt she saw her lover
Stand sadly by her pillow;
She thought she saw his gushing blood
Crimson the billow.
For he said he would return again
When the vesper bell should chime;
The vesper bell chimed long ago, --
'Tis past the vesper time.
"Amy, I've kept my faith," he sighed,
"The faith I pledged to thee;
A truant from the grave I come,
Beneath the hollow sea!"
