Thou sleep'st upon the shore Beside the knelling surge, And Sea-nymphs evermore Shall sadly chant thy dirge.
Such memories have linked these hills and caves, These woodland paths, and streams, and knelling waves Past to each sad pulsation of my breast, And made their melancholy arms the haven of my rest.
