... In the caves of the deep—lost Youth! lost Youth!—

O'er and o'er, fleeting billows! fleeting billows!—

Rung to his restless everlasting sleep

By the heavy death-bells of the deep,

Under the slimy-drooping sea-green willows,

Poor Youth! lost Youth!

Laying his dolorous head, forsooth,

On Carian reefs uncouth—

Poor Youth!

On the wild sand's ever-shifting pillows!...
