Robert W Service - Sailor`s SweetheartRobert W Service - Sailor`s Sweetheart
Work rating: Low


He sleeps beside me in the bed; Upon my breast I hold his head; Oh how I would that we were wed,     For he sails in the morning. I wish I had not been so kind; But love is fain and passion blind, While out of sight is out of mind,     And he ships in the morning. I feel his bairn stir in my womb; Poor wee one, born to bitter doom; How dreary dark will be the gloom,     When he goes in the morning! A sailor lad has need to court A loving lass in every port; To him it`s just a bit of sport . . .     My heart-break`s in the morning.
