We met one summer's eve  
A time before I learned to grieve  
You had taken to the shore  
Your ship, the Maiden, had just been moored  
  
I recall that sunset well  
The sunlight glittered atop the swell  
Your smile, it stole my heart that day  
If only you were able to stay  
  
The sea, I know, you loved first  
No words I spoke left you coerced  
And thus I let you sail away  
Watching as you left the bay  
  
He has your eyes, I hope you see  
And a smile that takes my breath from me  
A gift of love, a work of art  
Before your soul bid to depart
