And I will love thee still, my dear,
Till all the seas go dry:
Till all the seas go dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt with the sun;
I will love thee still my dear,
While the sands of life shall run.
And fare thee well, my only Love,
And fare thee well a while!
And I will come again, my Love,
Though it were ten thousand mile.
