The curling moonlight waves among;

No footsteps mark’d the slanting sand

Where she had seen her Henry stand!

She saw him o’er the billows go—

She heard the rising breezes blow;

She shriek’d aloud! The echoing steep

Frown’d darkness on the troubled deep;

The moon in cloudy veil was seen,

And louder howl’d the night blast keen!—

And when the morn, in splendour dress’d,
