The Night came on the Waters—all was rest

On Earth—but Rage on Ocean's troubled Heart.

The Waves arose and rolled beneath the blast;

The Sailors gazed upon their shivered Mast.

In that dark Hour a long loud gathered cry

From out the billows pierced the sable sky,

And borne o'er breakers reached the craggy shore—

The Sea roars on—that Cry is heard no more.
