"Oh, Mary, go sad call the cattle

And call the cattle borne.
And call the cattle home,
Across the eanda o' Dee!"
The western wind waa wild and

And all alone went she.
The creeping tide came up along

Aud o'er nnd o'er the sand,
And round and round the

As fur as eye could see.
The blinding mist came down
and hid the laud,
Aud ncwr home came she.
"Oh, la It weed or fish or floating
hair-
A tress o' golden hair,
A drowned maiden's hair
Above the nets at sea?
Was never salmon yet that
shone so fair
Among the stakes on Doe?"
They rowed her In across the
rolling foam
Tho cruel, crawling foam.
The cruel, hungry foam
To her grave beside the sos.
But still the boatmen hear her
call the cattle home
Across the sands' o' ree.
