Tower by the Sea

The land is sad without thee 
And the hills are draped in mist 
The flowers dream about thee 
In the fields thy feet have kist 

They have reaped the purple clover 
That the skylark soared above
But the harvest time is over 
Of an ever lasting love 

Neath the cliffs the shipd are sailing 
Women watch them joyfully 
But the wind comes wailing wailing 
By the tower by the sea. 

The past and present mingle 
In a sigh of deep regret 
For at last the twain are single 
And the sun of love has set. 

'tis rough the way we wended 
There are clouds across the sun 
For the sowing time is ended 
And the reaping has begun. 

Life and love how unvailing 
In the grass they'll bury me. 
Breath a pray'r when winds are wailing 
Round our tower by the sea
