' There is a ship

She sails the sea
She's loaded deep
As deep can be
But not as deep
As the love I'm in
I know not if I sink or swim.
The water is wide
I can 't cross o 'er
And neither have I wings to fly.
Give me a boat
That can carry two
Both shall row
- My love and I -
For love is gentle,
And love is kind,
Sweetest flower
When first it's new,
But love grows old '
