John Wilson, The Book of Scottish Song (1843)
“ Sailor and Shepherdess. [This appeared in one of the early Noctes Ambrosianæ of Blackwood's Magazine (the Royal Number of 1822.) It is probably from the pen of Professor Wilson.] SAILOR. When lightning parts the thunder-cloud, That blackens all the sea, And tempests sough through sail and shroud Ev'n then I'll think on thee, Mary. ”
