Note On Poems Of 1822

Topics: classic

This morn thy gallant bark         Sailed on a sunny sea:         'Tis noon, and tempests dark         Have wrecked it on the lee.         Ah woe! ah woe!         By Spirits of the deep         Thou'rt cradled on the billow         To thy eternal sleep.         Thou sleep'st upon the shore         Beside the knelling surge,         And Sea-nymphs evermore         Shall sadly chant thy dirge.         They come, they come,         The Spirits of the deep, -         While near thy seaweed pillow         My lonely watch I keep.         From far across the sea         I hear a loud lament,         By Echo's voice for thee         From Ocean's caverns sent.         O list! O list!         The Spirits of the deep!         They raise a wail of sorrow,         While I forever weep.
