She sits beside the tinted tide,
Thats reddened by the tortured sand;
And through the East, to ocean wide,
A vessel sails from sight of land.
But she will wait and watch in vain,
For it is said in Cupids lore,
That he who loved will love again,
And sweethearts wait on every shore.
Sweethearts Wait On Every Shore
Henry Lawson
