Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Folk-Songs of Britanny
And then there came a mermaid gay To where he lay, And clasped him in her arms with glee. How lovely she! She bore him home, a treasure won, Her own' Her palace 'neath the ocean gray Was fair alway, Decked with bright garlands Of the sea, The rolling sea. Great fish, her guards, hither and yon Swam on!
He fell in love as sailors may, All in a day, And married her beneath the sea, The pitching sea. King Of all oceans sailed upon, Reign on!
Sometimes on summer nights, men say, He Sings a lay, Dreams of his home in Brittany By rolling sea, Chanting a sweet and mournful so'ne* Alone.
