OVER THE SEA.

Over the sea—over the sea—
O but my heart is over the sea!
Northern wind, northern wind, O might I be
Borne on thy shrilling blast
Over the sea!
Over the sea—over the sea,
O but her heart is over the sea!
Northward the white sails go; northward to me
O but she longs to fly
Over the sea!
