A host of phantoms, from their briny graves,
From out of the treacherous sea,

Among waving weeds descend....
to the retreats of love,
where sufferings cease,
Annihilation only can give rest,
Come down; here is the end.
As over the greenish phantoms faintly gleamed,
The sunset on the deep,
To me,--------
The ocean in the twilight seemed,
A bed,....
For a quiet sleep,--
