THE captive pirate sate alone	A
Musing over triumphs gone	B
Gazing on the clear blue sky	C
From his dungeon window high	C
Dreamingly he sate and thought	D
Of battles he had seen and fought	D
And fancy o'er him threw her spell	E
He deemed he had not bid farewell	E
To the friends who loved him best	F
O'er the white wave's snowy crest	F
Seems he now once more to sail	G
Borne by the triumphant gale	G
Cheerily the light bark bounds	H
In his ears the music sounds	H
Of hoarsely mingling waves and voices	I
And his inmost soul rejoices	I
	-
	-
	-
He gives the signal of command	J
He waves he drops the lifted hand	J
It was a sound of clashing steel	K
Why starts he thus what doth he feel	K
The clanking of his iron chain	L
Hath made him prisoner again	M
He groans as memory round him brings	I
The shades of half forgotten things	I
His friends his faithful friends a sigh	C
Bursts from that bosom swelling high	C
His bark his gallant bark a tear	N
Darkens the eye that knew not fear	O
And another meaner name	P
Must lead his men to death or fame	P
And another form must stand	J
Captain of his mourning band	J
On the deck he trod so well	E
While his bark o'er ocean's swell	E
Is sailing far far out at sea	I
Where he never more may be	I
Oh to be away once more	Q
From the dark and loathsome shore	Q
Oh again the sound to hear	R
Of his ship's crew's hearty cheer	O
Souls who by his side have stood	S
Careless of their ebbing blood	T
	-
Wiped the death dew from their brow	U
And feebly smiled their truth to show	V
Little does the Pirate deem	W
Freedom now were but a dream	W
Little does the chieftain think	X
That his lost companions drink	X
Strugglingly by the salt sea wave	Y
Once their home and now their grave	Y
And the bark from which they part	Z
While his sad and heavy heart	Z
Yearns to tread her gallant deck	A2
Helpless lies a heaving wreck	A2
	-
And little will they deem who roam	B2
Hereafter in their floating home	B2
While their sunlit sail is spread	C2
That it gleams above the dead	C2
That the faithless wave rolls on	D2
Calmly as they were not gone	B
While its depths warm hearts doth cover	E2
Whose beatings were untimely over	E2
And little will they deem who stand	J
Safe upon the sea girt land	J
That to the stranger all it gave	Y
Was a prison and a grave	Y
	-
That the ruin'd fortress towers	I
Number'd his despairing hours	I
And beneath their careless tread	C2
Sleeps the broken hearted dead	C2
