Where, under the moon, upon mounts of frost,

Full many a mariner's bones are tost!

You shadowy bark hath been to that wreck,

And the dim blue fire, that lights her deck,

Doth play on as pale and livid a crew

As ever yet drank the church-yard dew!

To Dead-man's Isle, in the eye of the blast,

To Dead-man's Isle she speeds her fast,

By skeleton shapes her sails are furl'd,

And the hand that steers is not of this world!
