Far on its rocky knoll descried	A
Saint Michael's chapel cuts the sky	B
I climb'd beneath me bright and wide	A
Lay the lone coast of Brittany	C
	-
Bright in the sunset weird and still	D
It lay beside the Atlantic wave	E
As if the wizard Merlin's will	D
Yet charm'd it from his forest grave	E
	-
Behind me on their grassy sweep	F
Bearded with lichen scrawl'd and grey	G
The giant stones of Carnac sleep	F
In the mild evening of the May	G
	-
No priestly stern procession now	H
Streams through their rows of pillars old	A
No victims bleed no Druids bow	H
Sheep make the furze grown aisles their fold	A
	-
From bush to bush the cuckoo flies	I
The orchis red gleams everywhere	J
Gold broom with furze in blossom vies	I
The blue bells perfume all the air	J
	-
And o'er the glistening lonely land	A
Rise up all round the Christian spires	K
The church of Carnac by the strand	A
Catches the westering sun's last fires	L
	-
And there across the watery way	G
See low above the tide at flood	A
The sickle sweep of Quiberon bay	G
Whose beach once ran with loyal blood	A
	-
And beyond that the Atlantic wide	A
All round no soul no boat no hail	M
But on the horizon's verge descried	A
Hangs touch'd with light one snowy sail	M
	-
Ah where is he who should have come	N
Where that far sail is passing now	H
Past the Loire's mouth and by the foam	O
Of Finist re's unquiet brow	H
	-
Home round into the English wave	E
He tarries where the Rock of Spain	P
Mediterranean waters lave	E
He enters not the Atlantic main	P
	-
Oh could he once have reach'd this air	J
Freshen'd by plunging tides by showers	L
Have felt this breath he loved of fair	J
Cool northern fields and grass and flowers	L
	-
He long'd for it press'd on In vain	P
At the Straits fail'd that spirit brave	E
The South was parent of his pain	P
The South is mistress of his grave	E
