Hush, beat softer
Like her footsteps on the sand
See, but do not linger
Like the wind, that kis'd her hand
Hush, beat softer
Or you'll drown her tinkling laugh
The lucky wind Oh! he sways her hips
As she walks along the wharf
Hush, beat softer
Oh! don't make me sigh
Or she'll know i'm just an island
Under a lone, dark sky
Hush, beat softer
She's just passed me by
I feel like the moment after
An unsaid goodbye
Hush, beat softer
There like a whisper she stands
I see her shoulders heaving
And the breeze at play with her strands
Hush, beat softer
She turns with a tear and a smile!
The smile that tugs me closer
A tear for each lost mile
Hush, beat softer
My love is in my arms
The clouds have kissed the ocean
And the sky is blue and calm
