Children’s voices should be dear
(Call once more) to a mother’s ear;
Children’s voices, wild with pain —
Surely she will come again!
Call her once and come away;
This way, this way!
.Mother dear, we cannot stay!
The wild white horses foam and fret.‘
Margaret! Margaret!
Come, dear children, come away down;
Call no more!
One last look at the white-wall’d town.
And the little grey church on the windy shore;
Then come down!
She will not come though you call all day;
Come away, come away!

som disse:
Let us go hence, my songs; she will not hear.
Let us go hence together without fear.
Let us rise up and part; she will not know.
Let us go seaward as the great winds go.
Let us give up, go down; she will not care.
Let us go hence, go hence; she will not see.
Sing all once more together: surely she.
She loo, remembering days and words that were,
Will turn a little toward us. sighing.
(Poemt and Baliadu, forste Hakke. 4de Udg., S. 60—61).
