DONA MARIA'S SONG (from 'The Sea Hawk')
Lyrics: Howard Koch - Music: Erich Wolfgang Korngold

Sally Sweetland (dubbing Brenda Marshall)


Stood a maiden at her window,
Sadly gazing out to sea.
Pale her cheek, her heart how heavy,
Sorrowful her melody!
"My love is far from me!"
The evening yields its light,
A star awaits the night,
And the wind brings back an echo
Faintly from across the sea,
Carries home her melody:
"My love is far from me!"
