Unskilled to sunder, and too weak to cleave,

And with much toil attain to half-believe.

“Come back, come back.”

“Come back, come back”; yea back, indeed, do go

Sighs panting thick, and tears that want to flow;

Fond fluttering hopes upraise their useless wings,

And wishes idly struggle in the strings;

“Come back, come back.”...

“Come back, come back!”

Back flies the foam; the hoisted flag streams back;
