Won from ten thousand royal argosies;

Sweep o'er thy spoils, thou wild and wrathful main;

Earth claims not these again!

"Yet more, the depths have more! thy waves have rolled,

Above the cities of a world gone by!

Sand hath filled up the palaces of old,

Sea-weed o'er-grown the halls of revelry.

Dash o'er them, ocean! in thy scornful play!

Man yields them to decay
