The sea hath its pearls,
       &nbsp The heaven hath its stars;
But my heart, my heart,
       &nbsp My heart hath its love.

Great are the sea and the heaven;
       &nbsp Yet greater is my heart,
And fairer than pearls and stars
       &nbsp Flashes and beams my love.

Thou little, youthful maiden,
       &nbsp Come unto my great heart;
My heart, and the sea, and the heaven
       &nbsp Are melting away with love!
