They stood in the moonlight nearby the gate.
"Goodbye my darling, I know you'll wait."
For on the morrow, at the break of day,
He was to journey far, far away.

She ceased her weeping
   and smiled through her tears
Said, "I've been true love
   through these long years."
He held her closer, his promised bride,
And to her questions, these word replied:

I've loved you always, yes, I've been true,
My heart shall ever be lonely for you,
Believe me my darling, far over the sea,
Through life, through death,
   so faithful I'll be.
