No breath of air to break the wave
That rolls below the Athenian's grave,
That tomb which, gleaming o'er the cliff,
First greets the homeward-veering skiff
High o'er the land he saved in vain;
When shall such Hero live again?
 

A tomb above the rocks on the promontory, by some supposed the sepulchre of Themistocles.
