And from the steep wild torrents leap

Foaming 'neath rock and vine.

But she, in one tall tower,

High built above the tide,

In her heart a thorn, turns from the morn,

Wan-faced and weary-eyed.

Long, long she looks a-sea,

As one who seeks a sail:

But on her view the empty blue

Beats and her eyelids quail.
