lirik lagu annie rattray rentoul & georgette peterson - the fairy fleet
[verse 1]
the sea sings, the sea sings
and yet we cannot know
where they are gone, the little boats
we launched so long ago
we made the sails of feathers white
we wreathed the decks with flowers
we watched them passing out of sight
those gallant boats of ours
[refrain]
the sea sings, the sea sings
we listen to its song
but hear no tidings of our boats
although we wait so long
[verse 2]
the tide ebbs, thе tide flows
and carries to our feet
the spindrift foam, thе rainbow sh~lls
but not our fairy fleet
a goodly freight aboard we shipped
to charm the darky kings
glass beads, red berries, feathers clipped
from gay rosellas’ wings
[refrain]
the sea sings, the sea sings
the sea~waves ebb and flow
they bring no tidings of the boats
we launched so long ago
[verse 3]
the wind sings, the wind sings
across the eastern tide
we dream about the little boats
and wonder where they ride
perhaps in waters silver~pale
where fairy~islands lie
and where in milk~white galleons frail
the nautilus goes by
[refrain]
the wind sings, the wind sings
and wanders to and fro
we hear no tidings of the boats
we launched so long ago
[verse 4]
o, sea~song, o, wind~song
and ocean ebb and flow
where are they gone, the little boats
we launched so long ago?
we tied our fairy~letters on
with silken threads of blue
and bade the little ships begone
and bring us answer true
[refrain]
the sea sings, the sea sings
and yet we cannot know
where they are gone, the little boats
we launched so long ago
