They met each and every night;
She came from the water,
He came from the campsite.
They told stories of their past;
She was a princess,
He was an outcast.
They sang ballads and wept;
She thought of her family,
He had no one whom he kept.
They laughed and danced near the fire;
She looked up at the sky,
He looked at her with desire.
They said their fair wells and smiled;
She swam back into the sea,
He went back into the wild.
They would meet again next day;
She was nowhere to be seen,
He stood waiting by the bay.
He placed a stone onto the ground
For each day she did not come.
He could have made a house with how many he had found!
He looked into the night with sorrow:
“I wonder where you are, my love.
I hope you will come back tomorrow!”
She had been killed by a sailor;
She would come no more,
But he still awaits outside their door.
