Upon a lonely desart Beach	A
Where the white foam was scatter'd	B
A little shed uprear'd its head	C
Though lofty Barks were shatter'd	B
The Sea weeds gath'ring near the door	D
A sombre path display'd	E
And all around the deaf'ning roar	D
Re echo'd on the chalky shore	D
By the green billows made	E
	-
Above a jutting cliff was seen	F
Where Sea Birds hover'd craving	G
And all around the craggs were bound	H
With weeds for ever waving	G
And here and there a cavern wide	I
Its shad'wy jaws display'd	E
And near the sands at ebb of tide	I
A shiver'd mast was seen to ride	I
Where the green billows stray'd	E
	-
And often while the moaning wind	J
Stole o'er the Summer Ocean	K
The moonlight scene was all serene	F
The waters scarce in motion	K
Then while the smoothly slanting sand	L
The tall cliff wrapp'd in shade	E
The Fisherman beheld a band	L
Of Spectres gliding hand in hand	L
Where the green billows play'd	E
	-
And pale their faces were as snow	M
And sullenly they wander'd	B
And to the skies with hollow eyes	N
They look'd as though they ponder'd	B
And sometimes from their hammock shroud	O
They dismal howlings made	E
And while the blast blew strong and loud	O
The clear moon mark'd the ghastly croud	O
Where the green billows play'd	O
	-
And then above the haunted hut	O
The Curlews screaming hover'd	O
And the low door with furious roar	D
The frothy breakers cover'd	O
For in the Fisherman's lone shed	O
A MURDER'D MAN was laid	O
With ten wide gashes in his head	O
And deep was made his sandy bed	O
Where the green billows play'd	O
	-
A Shipwreck'd Mariner was he	P
Doom'd from his home to sever	Q
Who swore to be thro' wind and sea	P
Firm and undaunted ever	Q
And when the wave resistless roll'd	O
About his arm he made	O
A packet rich of Spanish gold	O
And like a British sailor bold	O
Plung'd where the billows play'd	O
	-
The Spectre band his messmates brave	R
Sunk in the yawning ocean	K
While to the mast he lash'd him fast	O
And brav'd the storm's commotion	K
The winter moon upon the sand	O
A silv'ry carpet made	O
And mark'd the Sailor reach the land	O
And mark'd his murd'rer wash his hand	O
Where the green billows play'd	O
	-
And since that hour the Fisherman	S
Has toil'd and toil'd in vain	T
For all the night the moony light	O
Gleams on the specter'd main	T
And when the skies are veil'd in gloom	U
The Murd'rer's liquid way	V
Bounds o'er the deeply yawning tomb	U
And flashing fires the sands illume	U
Where the green billows play	V
	-
Full thirty years his task has been	W
Day after day more weary	P
For Heav'n design'd his guilty mind	O
Should dwell on prospects dreary	P
Bound by a strong and mystic chain	T
He has not pow'r to stray	V
But destin'd mis'ry to sustain	T
He wastes in Solitude and Pain	T
A loathsome life away	V
