"Mewn cof anwyl."

So sings all night the never-resting sea;

And stars look down with tender, loving eyes;

The air is filled with saddening memories

Of what was once--but ne'er again may be.

"Here lie the lost!" the ocean seems to moan;

"I yearn to clasp them to my throbbing heart

"In fond embrace: The lost--myself a part!

So near--so near--and yet I mourn alone!"
