47 THE UNDINE. X.
A wail is borne from yonder shore, Where widowed wives, a saddened score, Lament yon fisher bark in vain ; Their sorrow gave the Undine pain : " Too cold am 1 1 " she cried, " I thought of my poor fish, alone ; And heeded not the swimmer's groan, Who perished in the tide !
XI.
"Amid the breakers will I dwell, And warn the sailor, by the swell Of music rare, and echoes sweet, That every note shall soft repeat, To fly from dangers hid ; Then sweet shall be my balmy rest, Pillowe...d upon the Ocean's breast, While sea-birds heed my bid ! " 48 THE UNDINE. XII.
When breakers roar, and raves the blast, The sailor, on the giddy mast, Has often heard a cadence wild, With words of warning, soft and mild, To steer a safer course : The Undine, singing, becks away, And leads, by dolphins' winning play, From tempests howling hoarse.
49 LADY GRACE'S BRIDAL.
A castle beams in the ruddy light Of a thousand torches' blaze ; The moon looks calmly on the night, Though warriors soon will rush to fight, In festive mantles gaily dight, And filled with strange amaze.
