[02:57]Many the green isle needs must be
[03:00]In the sea of misery
[03:05]Or the mariner who's so worn and wan
[03:09]Never thus could voyage on
[03:13]Day and night, and night and day
[03:16]Always drifting on his dreary way
[03:21]Always been drifting on his dreary way
[03:24]Closing around vessel's track
[03:28]When dreamers seem to be
[03:32]Weltering through eternity
[03:39]Of a dark and distant shore
[03:48]Longing with divided will
[03:55]He's ever drifting on and on
[03:59]Over the unresponsive wave
[04:04]To heaven of the grave
[04:08]What if there no friends will greet?
[04:11]What if there no hearts will ever meet?
[04:15]Wandering wherso'er he may
[04:24]To find refuge from distress
[04:27]In friendship's smile and in love's caress
[05:05]Many the green isle needs must be
[05:07]In the sea of misery
[05:21]Ay, many flowering islands lie
[05:24]In waters of wide agony
[05:28]To such an island a morning was led
And the dim low line be before
Still recedes ever still
But no power to seek or stun
Can he dream before the day
Or the mariner who's so worn and wan
Never thus could voyage on.
