Flows the silver-crested tide,

In gently winding waves;

The Zephyr creeps thy cliffs around,—

Thy cliffs, with whispering ivy crown'd,

And murmurs in thy caves.

Majestic steep! Ah, yet I love,

With many a lingering step, to rove

Thy ivied rocks among;

Thy ivied, wave-beat rocks recall

The former pleasures of my soul,
