The flinty couch whereon we're sleeping
Dm              Am
Shall seem with down of eider piled,
G       A        D
If thou above, sweet, watch our keeping
G7             C
The murky cavern's air's so heavy

O fiends of air and earth the essence

From this their wonted haunt exiled
G       A        D
Shall flee before thy holy presence
G7             C
We bow beneath our care so laden
G7            Am
To thy dear guidance reconciled
G7    E7       Dm
Then hear, o maiden, simple maiden
Dm7        F7    G
And for a father hear a child
C Am7 G G7 C
