A sea maid sings on yonder reef
                G          Am
The spell-bound seals draw near

The wandering ploughman halts his plough
             G       Am
The maid her milking stays
         C                 F
Sheep on hillside, bird on bough

Pause and listen in amaze

Was it a dream? Were all asleep?
           G         Am
Or did she cease her lay?
                 C                    F
The seals with a splash dive into the deep
               G                     Am      F
The world goes on, yet lingers the refrain
