Full oft with pleasure shall I muse on thee,

And in clear vision see thy form displayed

In all its light and loveliness arrayed.

Oft will the music of thy choral waves

Upon the sand-beach, or in fretted caves,

Fall with its mighty harmonies full, clear,

Distinct and tuneful on the inward ear,

Recalling brightly to the mind’s rapt sight

Waves, cliffs, rocks, head-lands, all in beauty bright.—

I see the splendour of the morning’s ray
