No phantom from thy mists may I evoke,

No more my prow or sail the waves provoke,

Where sleeps my happy island of the blest.

Lo, while I gaze, like the responsive swell

Of some great yearning heart, the billows rise,

Till, in wild tumult leaping to the skies,

They toss the beauteous wrecks I loved so well,

Resistless through the rending barriers roll

And sob through all the caverns of my soul.
