Dear, dear Sea Isle,

Raised I was on your shore,

Never did I feel in anyway poor,

The ocean right outside my back door,

Dear, dear Sea Isle, I love you to your core…

Dear, dear Sea Isle,

I miss you most dearly,

Never have I felt for you merely,

Your beauty I found quite clearly,

Dear, dear Sea Isle, I miss you quite sincerely…

Dear, dear Sea Isle,

Times change I realize,

For no where else have I got eyes,

You have held me in your bosom,

No more can I say of my home town,

Beyond the fact that I do of you sensationalize,

Dear, dear Sea Isle I wish that I should never see nor hear of your demise…
