If ever sea maid from her coral cave	A
Beneath the hum of the great surge has loved	B
To pass delighted from her green abode	C
And seated on a summer bank to sing	D
No earthly music in a spot like this	E
The bard might feign he heard her as she dried	F
Her golden hair yet dripping from the main	G
In the slant sunbeam	H
So the pensive bard	I
Might image warmed by this enchanting scene	J
The ideal form but though such things are not	K
He who has ever felt a thought refined	L
He who has wandered on the sea of life	M
Forming delightful visions of a home	N
Of beauty and repose he who has loved	B
With filial warmth his country will not pass	O
Without a look of more than tenderness	P
On all the scene from where the pensile birch	Q
Bends on the bank amid the clustered group	R
Of the dark hollies to the woody shore	S
That steals diminished to the distant spires	T
Of Hampton crowning the long lucid wave	A
White in the sun beneath the forest shade	U
Full shines the frequent sail like Vanity	V
As she goes onward in her glittering trim	W
Amid the glances of life's transient morn	X
Calling on all to view her	Y
Vectis there	Z
That slopes its greensward to the lambent wave	A
And shows through softest haze its woods and domes	A2
With gray St Catherine's creeping to the sky	B2
Seems like a modest maid who charms the more	S
Concealing half her beauties	C2
To the East	D2
Proud yet complacent on its subject realm	E2
With masts innumerable thronged and hulls	F2
Seen indistinct but formidable mark	G2
Albion's vast fleet that like the impatient storm	H2
Waits but the word to thunder and flash death	I2
On him who dares approach to violate	J2
The shores and living scenes that smile secure	K2
Beneath its dragon watch	L2
Long may they smile	M2
And long majestic Albion while the sound	N2
From East to West from Albis to the Po	O2
Of dark contention hurtles may'st thou rest	P2
As calm and beautiful this sylvan scene	J
Looks on the refluent wave that steals below	O2
