There came to me softly a small wind from the sea. br And it lifted a curl as it passed by me. br But I sang sorrow and ho the heavy day! br And I sang heigho and well-away! br br Again there came softly a small wind from the sea, br And it lifted a curl as it passed by me. br And still I sang sorrow and ho the heavy day! br And I sang heigho and well-away! br br Once more there came softly that small wind from the sea, br And it lifted a curl as it passed by me. br I hushed my song of sorrow and ho the heavy day, br And I hushed my heigho and well-away. br br br Then, when I was silent, that small wind from the sea, br It came the fourth time tenderly to me; br To me, to me, br Sitting by the sea, br Sitting sad and solitary thinking of thee. br Like warm lips it touched me-that soft wind from the sea, br And I trembled and wept as it passed by me.
