¶Liedtext

Ye cliffs, I to your airy steep Ascend with trembling hope and fear, To gaze on this extensive deep, And watch if William's sails appear. Long months elapse, while here I breathe Vain expectation's frequent prayer; Till, bending o'er the waves beneath, I drop the tear of dumb despair. But see! a glistening sail in view; Tumultuous hopes arise. 'Tis he! - I feel the vision true, I trust my conscious eyes. His promis'd signals from the mast My timid doubts destroy: What was your pain, ye terrors past, To this ecstatic joy!
