He sunk the impetuous river roll'd along	A
The sullen wave betray'd his dying breath	B
And rising sad the rustling sedge among	C
The gale of evening touch'd the cords of death	B
	-
Nymph of the Trent why didst thou not appear	D
To snatch the victim from thy felon wave	E
Alas too late thou camest to embalm his bier	F
And deck with waterflags his early grave	E
	-
Triumphant riding o'er its tumid prey	G
Rolls the red stream in sanguinary pride	H
While anxious crowds in vain expectant stay	G
And ask the swoln corse from the murdering tide	H
	-
The stealing tear drop stagnates in the eye	I
The sudden sigh by friendship's bosom proved	J
I mark them rise I mark the general sigh	I
Unhappy youth and wert thou so beloved	K
	-
On thee as lone I trace the Trent's green brink	L
When the dim twilight slumbers on the glade	M
On thee my thoughts shall dwell nor Fancy shrink	L
To hold mysterious converse with thy shade	M
	-
Of thee as early I with vagrant feet	N
Hail the gray sandal'd morn in Colwick's vale	O
Of thee my sylvan reed shall warble sweet	N
And wild wood echoes shall repeat the tale	O
	-
And oh ye nymphs of P on who preside	H
O'er running rill and salutary stream	P
Guard ye in future well the halcyon tide	H
From the rude death shriek and the dying scream	P
