What have I given,
Bold sailor on the sea? 
In earth or heaven, 
That you should die for me? 
What can I give, 
O soldier, leal and brave, 
Long as I live, 
To pay the life you gave?
What tithe or part 
Can I return to thee, 
O stricken heart, 
That thou shouldst break for me? 
The wind of Death 
For you has slain life's flowers, 
It withereth
(God grant) all weeds in ours.
