From the wild uproar of the waves.

With beckoning hands they seemed to urge

My footsteps down the dizzy way,

To join their train upon the surge,

And dance with them amidst the spray:

And such the madness of my brain,

That I was fain to seek the throng;

To meet and mingle on the main,

With their mad revelry and song.

One step, and down the dizzy cliff,
