“Jamie's on the Stormy Sea”
Description
"Ere the twilight bat was flitting, in the sunset at her knitting, Sang a lonely maiden... Fitful rose the tender chorus, 'Jamie's on the stormy sea.'" The singer listens to the girl praying -- and at last steps out and reveals himself as Jamie
Notes
At least he didn't dress up to trick her into thinking he was someone else. - RBW
