Song of the Albatross

Oh, it's aye

for the wild sea's rushing roar,

and the billows gray

that pound the shore

For the wild sea foam's my home!

Oh, it's life

to live on the bounding main,

Scud fast and free,

Thru pleasure and pain,

For the wild sea foam's my home!

Oh! the joy

when the white moon's beam

Floats over the water

with silvery gleam,

For the wild sea foam's my home!

When at last

my wild life's done

I'll fly to the west

with the setting sun

For the wild sea foam's my home!
