Hail lonely shore hail desert cave	A
To you o'erjoyed from men I fly	B
And here I'll make my early grave	A
For what can misery do but die	B
	-
Sad was the hour when fraught with guile	C
Spain's cruel sons our valleys sought	D
Unknown to us the Christian's wile	C
Unknown the dark deceiver's thought	D
	-
They said that here for ever blest	E
Our loved forefathers lived and reigned	F
And we by pious fondness prest	E
Believed the flattering tales they feigned	F
	-
But when we learnt the mournful truth	G
No I'll the horrid tale forbear	H
For on our trusting blighted youth	G
My brethren who will drop a tear	H
	-
Thou treasure of these burning eyes	I
Where wave thy groves dear native isle	C
Methinks where yon blue mountains rise	I
'Tis there thy precious valleys smile	C
	-
Yes yes these tears of joy that start	J
The softly soothing truth declare	H
Thou whisperest right my beating heart	J
My loved regretted home is there	H
	-
But then its trees that wave so high	B
The glittering birds that deck each grove	K
I cannot cannot hence descry	H
Nor dearer far the forms I love	L
	-
Yet still the winds that cool my brow	H
And o'er these murmuring waters come	M
A joy that mocks belief bestow	N
For sure they lately left my home	O
	-
Then deeply I'll the breeze inhale	P
To life it yet imparts one joy	Q
Methinks your breath has filled the gale	P
My faithful love my prattling boy	Q
	-
My prattling boy my beauteous wife	R
Say do you still my name repeat	S
And only bear the load of life	R
In hopes that we once more may meet	S
	-
My love in dreams thou still art nigh	B
But changed and pale thou seemest to be	T
Yet still the more thou charmest my eye	B
I think thee changed by love for me	T
	-
While oft to fond remembrance true	H
I see thee seek the sparkling sand	U
In hopes the little bark to view	H
That bears me to my native land	U
	-
But never more shall Zama's eye	B
Her loved returning husband see	T
Nor more her locks of ebon dye	B
Shall Zama fondly braid for me	T
	-
Yet still with hope chastised by fear	H
Watch for my bark from yonder shore	H
And still my Zama think me near	H
When this torn bosom throbs no more	H
	-
Yet surely hope each day deceived	V
At length to daring deeds will fire	H
The Spaniard's tale no more believed	V
My fate will fearful doubts inspire	H
	-
And then blest thought across the main	W
Thou'lt haste thy injured love to find	X
All danger scorn all fears disdain	W
And gladly trust the waves and wind	X
	-
Ha even now the distant sky	B
Seems by one spot of darkness crost	X
Yes yes a vessel meets my eye	B
Or else I gaze in phrensy lost	X
	-
It hither steers No beating breast	X
Too well I see what bade thee glow	N
The sea bird hastening to its nest	X
To taste a joy I ne'er shall know	N
	-
Moment of hope too bright to last	X
Thou hast but deepened my despair	H
But woe's severest pangs are past	X
For life's last closing hours are near	H
	-
'T was morn when first this beach I sought	X
Now evening's shadows fill the plain	W
Yet here I've stood entranced in thought	X
Unheeding thirst fatigue or pain	W
	-
'T is past I faint my throbbing brow	H
Cold clammy drops I feel bedew	X
Dear native shore where art thou now	H
Some Spaniard shuts thee from my view	H
	-
Monster away and let me taste	X
That joy in death in life denied	X
Still let me o'er the watery waste	X
Behold the hills which Zama hide	X
	-
Alas I rave no foe is near	H
'T is death's thick mist obscures my sight	X
Those precious hills to memory dear	H
No more shall these fond eyes delight	X
	-
But sent from thee my native shore	H
Again that precious breeze is nigh	B
Zama I feel thy breath once more	H
And now content transported die	B
