Página 391 - With the motion and the roar Of waves that drive to shore, One spirit did ye urge — The Mystery— the Word. Of thousands, thou both sepulchre and pall, Old ocean, art ! A requiem o'er the dead, From out thy gloomy cells A tale of mourning tells — Tells of man's wo and fall, His sinless glory fled.
