Which round her own unconscious clung,

Then fondly gaz'd, and softly sung:

Once like that sea, which ebbs and flows,

My bosom never knew repose,

And heavily each morn arose.

I bore with anger and disdain,

I had no power to break my chain,

No one to whom I dar'd complain.

And when some bird has caught my eye,

Or distant sail been flitting by,
