The night that first we met.
She wore a wreath of roses,
The night that first we met.
My fond affection thou hast seen,
Then judge of my regret

My fond affection thou hast seen,
Then judge of my regret
To think more happy thou hadst been

Proves more unchanging love for me
Than labor'd words could speak.
O pilot! 'tis a fearful night,
There's danger on the deep.
O pilot! 'tis a fearful night,
There's danger on the deep.
