When ocean roars loud, and the sky’s one cloud,
From his dark cave issues he;
And if you watch well, where waves highest swell,
Perchance his dread look you may see.
Farewell to the Sea.
Farewell! bright ocean, to thy winding shore,
But not, my spirit trusts, for evermore;
Thy power is on me, and ’twould be deep pain,
Never to view thy glorious scenes again;
Yet till that hour in gladness comes to me
