Sleep, sleep, waves passing by
Waves traveled from afar
Sleep, sleep, waves shall ease
Waves in the early morning cease
Resting along the shoreline
Sleep, sleep, wind wailing by
Wind with the north entailed
Sleep, sleep, wind shall abate
The forest of Dartmore exhilarate
Singing the laud of a blackbird
Sleep, sleep, flee like the sun
Into the west she wanders
Sleep, sleep, in darkness succumb
Drunk from the oaky Mount Gay rum
Bid she enlighten the fallen
Sleep, sleep, rocked by the sea
Safe in her bosom linger
Sleep, sleep, worries shall wane
Soon you will see your beloved again
In her bed no rest I ensure you
