There have been some that haze ioy't
And whose returning love l've proy'd
Far above sounding words but the,'
Are dead and gone, and past away
Alas for mel cannot think

Or sigh to look DER that dread brfl
Where sleep the countless dead

And while the sky, the rocks and sea,
Are such sweet, silent friends to me.
