Morn comes forth with rays to crown her,

While the sun afar is spreading

Golden cloths most finely woven

All to dry her tear-drops purely.

Up to noon he climbs, then straightway

Sinks, and then dark night makes ready

For the burial of the sea

Canopies of black outstretching--

Tall ships fly on linen pinions,

On with speed the breezes send it,
