Of my darling—my darling—my life and my bride,

In her sepulchre there by the sea—

In her tomb by the sounding sea.

He is heartbroken and cannot get over this pain. In these lines, the author calls her "my darling," "my life" and "my bride." He also tells us that, throughout the night, he lies down next to her, in her sepulchre. All this expresses the author's deep sorrow.

Of my darling—my darling—my life and my bride,

In her sepulchre there by the sea—

In her tomb by the sounding sea.
