¶Liedtext

Whence come the thund’ring billows? And where do the wavelets spring? Rocked in their stormy cradle, Rough winds their lullaby sing; And caves of coral echo The sound of their sportive mirth, As yielding a share of treasures rare To deck the fair dames of earth; Or a necklace bright, of red or white, To grace young beauty’s birth. The restless sea will ever On the shore with music beat, As it brings to the land fresh off’rings To cast them at her feet; Like a lover, rough but constant, Of this fair and favoured isle, Who oft recedes, yet never leaves, Guarding her all the while, Though calmly his crest may sink to rest In the light of her sunny smile.
