SONG.

[Sing away, Oh sing away!]

Sing away, Oh sing away!
My father's ship sails swiftly home:
O'er the wind-blown waves a-foam
What gifts will be bring away?
A golden coif to bind my locks—
Sing away, Oh sing away!—
Or else two white-and-silver smocks.
But if he drift on the sea's rocks
What gifts will he bring away?
