English Canzonettas I [1794] : I Mermaid's Song Hob.XXVIa, 25 lyrics

Now the dancing sunbeams play

On the green and glassy sea,

Come, and I will lead the way

Where the pearly treasures be

Come with me, and we will go

Where the rocks of coral grow

Follow, follow, follow me

Come, behold what treasures lie

Far below the rolling waves,

Riches, hid from human eye,

Dimly shine in ocean's caves

Ebbing tides bear no delay,

Stormy winds are far away

Come with me, and we will go

Where the rocks of coral grow

Follow, follow, follow me
