Close to the dizzy brink, that ne'er appals

Her brave and constant spirit to recoil,

However the wild billows toss and toil.

CXXVII.

"Oh! dost thou live under the deep deep sea?

I thought such love as thine could never die;

If thou hast gain'd an immortality

From the kind pitying sea-god, so will I;

And this false cruel tide that used to sever

Our hearts, shall be our common home forever!"
