In this virgin island
Where never before had your kind strode

She let you sow
And she watered after you
Watched your garden grow

But as quick as dew dries in the morning sun
You left without a word, no farewell
And in this beautiful island garden
A flower was plucked

A flower was plucked
But its stalk never died
For the maiden hopefully awaits
That you’ll return

And the flower'll grow again.
