Come O'er The Sea.

By Thomas Moore

Topics: classic

Come o'er the sea,             Maiden, with me,         Mine thro' sunshine, storm, and snows;             Seasons may roll,             But the true soul         Burns the same, where'er it goes.     Let fate frown on, so we love and part not;     'Tis life where thou art, 'tis death where thou art not.             Then come o'er the sea,             Maiden, with me,         Come wherever the wild wind blows;             Seasons may roll,             But the true soul         Burns the same, where'er it goes.             Was not the sea             Made for the Free,         Land for courts and chains alone?             Here we are slaves,             But, on the waves,         Love and Liberty's all our own.     No eye to watch, and no tongue to wound us,     All earth forgot, and all heaven around us--             Then come o'er the sea,             Maiden, with me,         Mine thro' sunshine, storm, and snows;             Seasons may roll,             But the true soul         Burns the same, where'er it goes.
