I found her out thereA
On a slope few seeB
That falls westwardlyC
To the sharp edged airA
Where the ocean breaksD
On the purple strandE
And the hurricane shakesD
The solid landE
-
-
I brought her hereF
And have laid her to restG
In a noiseless nestG
No sea beats nearH
She will never be stirredI
In her loamy cellC
By the waves long heardI
And loved so wellC
-
-
So she does not sleepJ
By those haunted heightsK
The Atlantic smitesK
And the blind gales sweepJ
Whence she often would gazeK
At Dundagel's far headL
While the dipping blazeK
Dyed her face fire redL
-
-
And would sigh at the taleC
Of sunk LyonnesseK
While a wind tugged tressK
Flapped her cheek like a flailC
Or listen at whilesK
With a thought bound browM
To the murmuring milesK
She is far from nowM
-
-
Yet her shade maybeB
Will glide undergroundN
Till it catch the soundN
Of that western seaB
As it swells and sobsK
Where she once domiciledN
And joy in its throbsK
With the heart of a childN
