That throbs in the quivering sand.

Hush! hush!

Each requiem tone as it dies,

With a soul that is parting, sighs;

For the tide rolls back from the pulseless clay

As the foam in the tempest flies.

Hush! hush!

O throb of the restless sea!

All hearts are attuned to thee—

All pulses beat with thine ebb and flow
