III.

"And fear'st thou, and fear'st thou?

And see'st thou, and hear'st thou?

And drive we not free

O er the terrible sea,

I and thou?"

One boat-cloak did cover

The loved and the lover—

Their blood beats one measure,

They murmur proud pleasure

Soft and low;—

While around the lashed ocean,

Like mountains in motion,

Is withdrawn and uplifted,

Sunk, shattered and shifted

To and fro.
