Sneak Peak


It was the schooner Hesperus,

    That sailed the wintry sea;

And the skipper had taken his little daughter,

    To bear him company.

 

Blue were her eyes as the fairy-flax,

    Her cheeks like the dawn of day,

And her bosom white as the hawthorn buds,

    That ope in the month of May.
