Classic Poem

Last Easter I was married, that night I went to bed,
There came a bold sea captain who stood at my bed head,
Saying, "Rise, arise, you married man, and come along with me
To the low, low lands of Holland to face your enemy."

She clasped her arms about me, imploring me to stay,
Up speaks this bold sea captain, saying, "Arise and come away!
Arise, arise, you married man, and come along with me
To the low, low lands of Holland to face your enemy."

"Oh, daughter dear, oh, daughter dear, why do you thus lament?
There are men enough in our town to make your heart content."
"There are men enough in our town, but there is not one for me,
For I never had but one true love, and he has gone from me.

"No shoes shall come upon my feet, nor comb come in my hair,
No fire bright or candlelight shine in my chamber more,
And never will I married be until the day I die,
Since cruel seas and angry winds parted my love and me."
