A wanderer of the deep

Where, far away, the jasmines dwell,

And where the myrrh-trees weep!

Blest on the sounding surge and foam

Are tidings of the citron’s home!

The sailor at the helm they meet,

And hope his bosom stirs,

Upspringing, midst the waves, to greet

The fair earth’s messengers,

That woo him, from the moaning main,
