Dashed full at my casement —
I wept for my home —
And my stay was not long —
Nine nights and no more — though my love was so strong !
At dawn scarce I slumbered
When lo, the wild mew
Came over the water
And waked me anew !
I love not his shrieking,
I love not the roar
Of billows high breaking
Against the steep shore !
So my stay was not long —
Nine nights and no more — though my love was so strong !
Above the mad breakers,
Hoarse roaring so nigh,
I heard the poor sailor's
Last choking death cry.
