A lady fair doth wait for me, be it near or distant shore,
My journey not complete, till I rest with her forever more.
I shall climb every mountain, sail each ocean wide,
Walk an endless land, till my love stands by my side.

My love is near I feel it, a thousands stones, an inch you see,
One more mountain, one more sea, shall bring my love to me.
I shall not fail, no ancient curse, can stop a man in love,
The fiercest dragon known, shall fly as a dove!
