Song. "When the sun rises where will you be"

When the sun rises where will you be
  Wandering, sweetheart of mine?
  On the wild mountain or on the wild sea,
  Treading the heather or breasting the brine:
  Sweetheart, come back to me.
  When the moon rises where will you be
  Wandering, sweetheart of mine?
  Cold on the sea-sand or stark on the lea,
  Never again to see sun or moon shine,
  Never to come back to me.
